Newbie - help. WIFI possible for Comfortbilt pellet stove?

[RicD]

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! I now have wifi access for my comfortbilt HP42. Got the connectors and built a cable for the tuya device that i designed my app with too many functions. It says 1level, 2level, 3level,4level,5level but im ok with that. There is some mandarin? on the main screen after 0h so not sure what that is yet but i dont care. It is in fahrenheit so i selected the right attributes for my app...

Thanks again everyone! Much appreciation for the info to make this work.

The XH Connector i bought from Amazon had the wires in the wrong direction. released and reversed the wires in the connector to make the colors right. I also had to cut a little of the plastic on the ph-4aw to allow the ph 2.0 cable to slide in enough to make a connection.

OK, app stopped working and i couldnt turn it off with the app. Turned off eco mode and then it worked the next time. Maybe eco mode removes power after a certain time? Im going to order a few more boards and try to make it work better, still a few nuances, but it does what i need it to.

Hi everyone, I have the Castle Serenity Stove that shares the same head unit as the Comfortbilt, I was going to go the Tuya route, but I wanted additional features where I can turn on and off the stove at a certain temperature, and i wanted to have an on and off Timer. So I created my own device with all these features that plugs into the head unit. I thought others might find it useful so I thought I would share it here.
