Yup. The nest. Don't really use it because we heat exclusively with wood. I do like the peace of mind while on vacation though (being able to monitor temps in winter)

My pellet stove is connected to my Nest as well as the the central air for summertime. Works great but you need a power source and relay to make it work.

I have my stove hooked up to a belkin wemo wall switch. Then use ifttt.com to set up triggers from my WiFi thermostat to turn the stove on. This setup give me many options to start or stop my stove. I can set schedules, use location triggers or even tweet or text to control the stove. Plus I have it logging to Google docs to log how long my stove is running. Finally I have it linked to my humidifier that's is on a wemo insight plug so it runs whenever my stove runs. Ya i am kind of a geek.
