I've just had the Enviro Mini Pellet stove installed and would like to install a thermostat.
I have the technical manual which shows the point where I connect the thermostat but coming from the UK everything we do is slightly different. (I'm a trained electrician in the uk so happy to wire stuff up)
So I have a couple of questions.
Does the thermostat get it's power from the Stove or do I have to install a separate 12/24 PSU, I see some take batteries so is this just for clock backup or it that all the power it needs.
I see the mention of "swing" I assume this is a temperature window e.g +- 2degrees etc. The cheap ones I'm looking at at home depot say +-1deg.
Is there any recommendation for something simple?

Lastly coming from the UK it would be nice to switch the stove on remotely, I have Internet controlled circuits in the cottage so I could just plug the stove into the one of the outlets I can control remotely (I can also monitor the temperature of the cottage remotes and have webcams so I can watch it burn to the ground when it all goes wrong
Has anyone remote controlled their stove and is it a bad idea?
