I have the above insert, I love this and it is saving me a fortune on oil. that said I want to add a wifi thermostat to the stove. it has a hi low and on off mode. I would be using the hi low, but I don't understand how to wire a thermostat to this stove it has a 2 wire hookup on the control board, but it isn't specified what wires would go to it from a thermostat. (G Y RC O B RH W) I do not have a c or common wire so I will be using a 110 - 24 volt transformer to power the thermostat. I also do not know how to wire that. lol I do a ton of car audio and video installs so I am not an idiot, I just don't understand what I am doing with the two terminals at the bottom of the transformer, and I don't know what wires I should be plugging into the back of the control board. the control board has a jumper in it now as that is how it comes from the factory. I just want to be able to turn the stove on from work, an hour before I leave so its not 54 in the house when I get home. thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

because I will be using a hi low fuction and basically using the stat to turn it on I am ok with a 1 degree swing like a honeywell
 
Lake Girl provided the best thread to use as a resource for your WiFi thermostat. It's not really hard once you see the diagram posted.

Good luck!
