Hello,
I have a napoleon nz6000 (I think it is call, it is the big one). It is a great unit, but it would be great if the blower speed control could be remotely controlled with a remote or some other connected device. Even better a "Internet of things" type device, like wink compatible.
Anyone know if such a device exists?
Thanks

No body knows of anyway to remotely control the variable speed knob thing huh?

Maybe more details on why I am wanting one. I use the fireplace to supplement heat and for looks. I like a nice wood fire. The issue is when I go to sleep at night. I don't fill it up with wood to burn till morning, I just let it burn out. So I shut the blower off before I go to bed and the fire is still burning with a lot of heat to give. I don't want to leave the blower on because it will just be blowing cold air for half the night. So being able to remotely shut it off, or set it in a timer, or schedule, etc, would be awesome.

Any thoughts?
 
All you need for that is a thermal disc thermostat on the stove. It will turn the fan on when the stove is hot, turn it off when it is cold. they sell for about $15 or so.
 
The nz6000 should already have one wired into it. It turns the blower on when it reaches temperature and shuts it off when it cools down on mine.
