The Catalyst is fairly sophisticated (and expensive) but it performs very well according to testing. I can not recall anyone here ever submitting a review on one though. There have been a few on the Adventurer . One issue of concern is electronics failure. This may be related to sudden power surges, so it may be a good idea to put it on a good UPS system for protection and continuous operation during shorter power outages. Another company that has been doing automation for a while is Nestor Martin. They are calling it "Woodbox technology" now.

Hwam and Rika also have automation options. I think Hwam even has a cellphone app now to control the stove.
