This will be nice if we can modify the response so we don't have to say To Do, I wish they make it an open standard or allow us to forward the requests to a URL of our choice as well. As far as Android Wear, I have been able to setup TASKER commands using MobiLinc to control my house. Since I have that setup, I also used AutoVoice to trigger the Tasker Commands based on what words i use. Ex: OK GOOGLE triggers Android Wear or your Phone to listen, then i say "Turn Living Room Lights On." When AutoVoice recognizes that, it triggers Tasker to send the command to MobiLinc and it turns the lights on. You can also setup Tasker to send a direct API command to a URL of your choice instead of using MobiLinc as that would be faster.

No, I know that much. I'm going to run a 12 Gage cable from another nearby electrical plug for the switch.

It looks like there's a outlet under the fireplace as a few of you had mentioned. So I think I'm just going to hook up the I/O Linc under the fireplace and use that to control the fireplace and then I'll run a 110 wire to where the switch was and connect a standard 2477D switch to it so I can control it.

Ok, I see that would be perfect. So then I'd have to make it so when the Micro Module gets power the fireplace would be triggered to be on? What is it that's controlling the thermostat wire at the fireplace? Wouldn't I still need the wireless thermostat to trigger the actual fire on/off command or does the electrical wiring trigger the fire to be on/off depending if it has power?

stusviews: I think i'm a bit confused on how the Micro Module would work with the fireplace. You're talking about INSTEON 2443-222 MICRO ON/OFF MODULE right? Currently the switch for the fireplace only has 2 wires going into that switch. and the Micro Module has the following: -Neutral -Line 1 -Line 1 -Line Where would those 2 wires get connected in this scenario and how would the Micro Module get connected to the existing power circuit? Are you basically saying I would need to run a power line to the switch and connect that to the Micro Module's Neutral and Line slots then connect the appropriate cable from the fireplace to the Line 1? If so, what would happen with the 2nd cable coming from the fireplace? Thanks again for your help by the way, still trying to get a complete understanding on how this whole part works. I understand how sensors and switches and all the other parts work. For some reason though, this one is throwing me off. Thanks, Suler

ergodic: Thanks for your input, do you know of any Z-Wave devices that I could use for that scenario just to get an idea of what they'd look like? My alternative I think will be the basement solution. stusviews: I have a micro module, but isn't that just an on/off switch? I know it requires a power line as well which again isn't a problem, but where would the thermostat wires be connected to it? The model of the fireplace is Superior SSDVR3530CNM

ergodic: What do you mean by a fireplace fan switch? I don't believe that my fireplace has a fan as far as I know...

I'll find out the model later on tonight and post it on here. I considered a thermostat but I don't want to have something there that doesn't need to be there as it'll stand out in the room since it'll be the only thing sticking out next to my tv/fireplace. That's why I was trying to find a switch as it would make it blend into the wall. If my hands are tied and I'd have no other choice but a I/O Linc, then I'm considering running a power outlet to the basement and pulling the thermostat wires down to the basement and plug it into the I/O linc down there so it's not visible. Another thing is, I don't mind running an electrical wire to where the switch is if whatever device i put in there allows me to control the low voltage fireplace. Do you know if I run power to the switch and I install the 2477S, will that be able to control it from the load? I'm assuming that it might damage it, that's the only reason I haven't tried it...

Hi, I'm still setting up different devices and sensors to my ISY, mainly using INSTEON at the moment. I've replaced all my switches with the 2477D switches but when it came to my fireplace, it seems like it's just using a low voltage wire to control it. Meaning that there isn't a hot or neutral wire available there. So because of this, is there any solutions that you guys have found for this that's enclosed inside the wall besides the I/O Linc which requires a outlet to be there and also requires it to be visible? Thanks, Suler
