Homeowner Forum / Home Automation / September 2004wireless thermostat
I have a wood pellet stove with a thermostat attached. However, I would like to put the thermostat in the hallway and would prefer not to run wires. Is there a wireless thermostat out there that I can attach to the wall and then have the receiver next to the pellet stove? >I have a wood pellet stove with a thermostat attached.

The 4th one uses °C only. The last one is no longer shown on their web page. It may have been vapor. How will you power the receiver? I have power next to the Pellet stove, but the location I want to put the thermostat is back in the hallway. I could wire the thermostat, but I have to drill through the brick to make it look good. I'm not looking for a fancy thermostat, just something that switches a relay on and off at a set temp. >>I have a wood pellet stove with a thermostat attached.

The DigiMax 210 comes closest but, as I noted before, it's readout is °C. http://www.x-10europe.com/digimax.htm >I have power next to the Pellet stove, but the location I want to put the >thermostat is back in the hallway.

There are inexpensive RF transmitters from firms like Linear that will send a signal any time the remote thermostat opens or closes a circuit. A matching RF receiver will transfer and release its relay upon receipt of the appropriate RF signal. Like all other things, the RF transmitter or receiver can fail so you should consider installing a local (near the pellet stove, that is) backup thermostat which will prevent the stove from running unchecked above some maximum or staying off below some minimum temperature. Disclosure: I sell this stuff to DIYers so I'm not entirely unbiased. Following are links (my website) to a few thermostats and RF transmitters and receivers: Thermostats: http://www.bassburglaralarms.com/subcategory_45.htm Wireless: http://www.bassburglaralarms.com/category_683.htm Regards, Robert L Bass =============================> Bass Home Electronics 2291 Pine View Circle Sarasota · Florida · 34231 877-722-8900 Sales & Tech Support http://www.bassburglaralarms.com =============================> |
