Just wanted to share something I’ve been using for a while now that I finally decided to make available to everyone. I originally built this for myself because I was trying to figure out a clean way to add Wi-Fi to my pellet stove so I could turn it on before leaving work, set on/off temperatures, and check the stove’s status without being home. One thing that always bugged me with both Castle Serenity and Comfortbilt stoves is that there’s no built-in Wi-Fi or app.
I know you can use a smart thermostat, but that setup ends up being multiple components and still doesn’t give full control of the stove (burn level, mode changes, timers, etc.). I really wanted one device and one app that talk directly to the stove.
Since Comfortbilt had plans for Wi-Fi, I knew it wouldn’t be too hard to build my own solution. I personally have a Castle Serenity, and even though Wi-Fi was never advertised for it, I found that both stoves use the same control head unit—which made this possible.
I’ve been running this setup for a while, and after friends and family kept asking if they could get one for their stoves too, I decided to turn it into a dedicated module with a proper app and make it available more broadly.
