PelPro PPC90/TSC90 and Ecobee

[kafox]

Hello,

Has anyone successfully hooked up an Ecobee thermostat (or any 24V thermostat really) to a PelPro PPC90/TSC90 ?

I would like to be able to manage the pellet stove with an external wifi thermostat and my main thermostat is an Ecobee, so its the one I am looking at. PelPro says the stove is compatible with millivolt thermostats, but I am hoping its possible to make it work with the Ecobee.

Stove has two thermostat wire connectors, so I know I would need an external transformer to provide Common power to the thermostat. Would I also need to add a relay to protect the stove components?

Thanks

I'd be real careful doing that. If you backfeed the T'stat lugs on the board, it will destroy it. Millivolt is millivolt, not 24 VDC

And that's exactly why I am asking! I did see another thread where someone did it with a different millivolt stove. Could I not do something similar?

24V Thermostat Wiring

I posted last week about using a Honeywell TH830WF (24V) thermostat on my Breckewll Big E pellet stove. Attached is my wiring diagram for what I am currently wired for. I have 24 volts to my thermostat, but don’t seem to be getting any signal from the W terminal when calling for heat. If I use a...

I'm old school. Too much whiz bang stuff for me. It's a frigging pellet stove not a rocket ship. I'll stick with a simple millivolt digital set back T'stat.

Yes it can be done but you need to interface it with a relay that you have to make yourself.

You'll have to buy the transformer and relay (relay is to the right of the furnace it must be 24v) Thermostat can be any wifi stat. An Ecobee works fine. I'm controlling my p43 with one.
Hope this helps.

That's where you and I differ! Do appreciate the perspective though
