WiFire Remote
The WiFire Remote is a web based universal dry contact millivolt/low-volt DC remote
control. The WiFire Remote will allow millivolt-controlled appliances, such as gas
fireplaces and gas stoves, to be operated with a computer or smart device that has an
internet or cell connection.
Gas fireplaces and stoves are generally standing pilot millivolt/low-volt DC appliances
that are typically controlled by either a rocker switch, a thermostat which requires a 20'
to 30' low voltage wire to be connected directly to the fireplace, or a coffee table remote
control, which limits control to less than 50 feet. The WiFire Remote is a temperature
sensing switch that eliminates these boundaries allowing the user to monitor and control
their fireplace and its features (depending on the WiFire Remote model and fireplace
features) from anywhere an internet or cell phone connection is available.
The ability to control a gas fireplace or heating appliance from literally anywhere
requires that it have the ability to communicate with your smart device or computer
utilizing an internet connection. The WiFire Remote will be wired to your gas fireplace or
heating appliance in order to provide this means of communication.
During the WiFire Remote 'Installation' process, the WiFire Remote will establish a
connection with the Wi-Fi Router in your home (appliance location) providing access to
the internet, and in turn, to the WiFire Cloud. Once this connection is properly
established and the remainder of the installation process is complete the user will be able
to access his fireplace controls from any internet connected smart device or computer.
