Good idea Smoke!

A web enabled light and heat on/off switch using an iphone!!

Interesting... I'd like to learn more about the microprocessor and network card so I can build an online, web accessible control panel clone of my Big E controls.

Wow I was just thinking the same thing. Not sure if they have AC motor interfaces but an SCR like they use on the Pelpro Control boards would work fine!

Seems like it is very doable! Then you can add more features that your control board does not have!

Then make an iPhone App for the new BegE control board and you are Smokin JM !!

haha... i'd have to know how to make the apps first and the interface as well. im a techie but I don't write apps, yet! i wouldn't mind having a very simple and basic web interface that would look exactly like the control and just tell me what the stove is doing. For example, if it's on heat setting #3, high fan, I'd like to see those same LED"s lit up on the web version as if I were standing in front of the stove. It does't even have to be able to control it. Just let me see the values and if it's running or errored out.
