any one here running electronics .... at their boiler that u can read in the house ? temps and GPM etc? I have my boiler in a "walk in freezer" 9x12 75' from the house ...and during my install I ran 2 sets of 6 pr wires along with some 8/3 uf power lines (in the trench) .....in this day a age seems like the thing to do ... I see some high speed set ups with our hvac here at work...

These simple, inexpensive Azel dual temperature gauges are common. 4 conductors could read two temperature points.

Flow could be read inside the house, no need to have the meter at the stove if it is a single loop system. Visual flowmeters are easy to find and install, rotary pulse meters are more accurate, but more $$ and you need a control to read that pulse signal if you want remote readout.

You might consider a digital solar differential control. In addition to reading 2-4 temperature points and several flowmeters it could do some switching, data logging, energy metering and more.
