Hi all- I have an Avalon arbor stove and am interested in setting it up with a remote thermostat like the skytek. I'm curious as to how exactly people use the thermostat. I would like to set it so that it turns the stove on when room temperature drops to a certain level. Can I use the thermostat to cycle the stove on and off between two temperatures, or will it basically just work as an on switch only? Any and all advice is welcome.
automatic thermostat?

I have the skytech 3301p and use it as you would any programmable t-stat in the shoulder season I use it on/off set it at 70* runs until 71 shuts stove down and relights when heat is called for,in the colder months I just run hi/low stove runs until desired temp then drops down to low until heat is called for again.I'm not sure of the stat capability's of your stove but that's how mine works.
the travis units are one and off type thermostat operation.acder said:
when any kind of stat is not calling for heat a travis stove will going into a shut down mode and then shut off
when any kind of stat calls for heat then it will start it up.
you can get as fancy as you want with remote or thermostat controls all they need to do is open and close the thermostat circuit.
the 3301p skytec lets you set times of the day with different temperatures for each time. and you can have this different for each of the 7 days of the week.
you can even wire it into a smart home system then you can control your stove with a computer and some smart home setups you can turn on your stove from work via the internet or your cell phone.
you can do this with any pellet stove that has a ON and OFF thermostat setting
the thermostat connection is not rocket science all you need is a device that open and closed the low voltage circuit.
Wires together calling for heat.... wires apart not calling for heat.

I know there not rocket science and mine was simple to install,the part I thought was cool controling the stat from a computer or cell phone.I learn something new everyday.Thanks Rod.
