Pellet Stove Automation Wi-Fi ect.

Hey all,

I just wanted to throw this out there for all of you. I came across a nifty thing that is working well for my stove. It is an Wi-Fi enabled outlet. I have my stove on a thermostat that I have set at the desired temp and on my way home from work I pick up my phone and turn the stove on. It will even tell me how much juice my stove is using to run. The outlet can also be programmed with a schedule to turn its self on and off.

This has been pretty handy as we are currently only using the pellet stove for supplemental heat.

Hope some of you can use this.

I just saw one of those yesterday. Never thought to use it like that. Thanks for the info!

It would not be good to use on program mode though because if the stove happens to be on at the scheduled time to shut off via the outlet it's just gonna kill power to the stove leaving the stove to smolder out.
