Do you know it this will work with a fireplace? I have a normal light switch and I wonder if it will work for that? Any ideas?

This switch needs and controls 120 VAC (only) to work. It has three wires, neutral, hot and out to switch/light. I would recommend a electrician to look at your application.

I bought this to use with my gas fireplace and it did not work. this switch apparently was not sensitive enough to control the low voltages that the fireplace switch uses

This unit replaces a normal light switch and is rated for 20 amps, so you should have no problem using it for a fireplace. We are very happy with ours. It controls our porch light from over 200' away.

As long as the current draw is within the limits of the switch it should work.

I cannot be certain but I would believe it will work providing the wattage is within their specs...however if the lighting is flourescent I would be less sure. I have used them on LED lights and halogen bulbs without any associated problems. (I have had some irratic times where the remote function may not work reliably for some times)

I would assume you probably can wire a dimmer type of a switch to it that will work with the low-voltage lighting. The unit itself just has a light sensor which allows your low-voltage lights to come on and turn off automatically. If you purchase a dimmer switch, make sure it's for low-voltage outdoor lighting and is weather resistant if it is exposed to the outdoors. Also you may want to contact the manufacturer and ask them if a dimmer switch is something that would be safe to wire to the unit. Hope this helps. Good luck, Yuri

It should still work. It att he's with large magnets to your fireplace screen. Three across the top with one in the middle. At worst, you might have to sew a seam on both sides so you don't have drooping. Can't remember how much margin there is on the sides to the magnets. Try it. It's a forgiving product.

It will work with a bedroom fan depending on many lights are hooked to the same switch as the fan. There is a max wattage that the switch can handle. If you get an occupancy sensor in the future the one listed at the end of my comments is a far better switch. They also sell as version that costs less but it handles less wattage load. I have both kinds in my house. If your using this in a kids room they tend to turn the override "on" switch on and it stays on until you find it. That is why I like the other one.

Yes. The switch is relay-driven, so it will work with any kind of light bulb or lamp. It makes an audible click when it operates. In fact, you can use it with any appliance that can handle being on a light switch. Just don't exceed the switch's power rating (stated on the product page).

Since the remote was purchased for a school presentation that involved turning off and on two lights at a distance from each other, I was only concerned with finding something that would work with distance. Watts, volts--I have no clue. So, I asked our maintenance man your question. He looked at the box. It said that it would work for appliances, heaters, etc., up to 10 amps. Since your electric fireplace is 1200 watts and 120 volts, our maintenance man said that this should be 10 amps. He thinks it should work. I hope this helps you decide.

I believe you will need an additonal switch. On this unit, there is a switch that I used to control the light. Then there is the automatic/manual switch used to control the vent fan. I don't have a nightlight, but I use a seperate timer switch to control the heater built into my vent/light/heat unit. B. Wood

If it works with your blower, it will work with a thermal switch. I use this switch on my two Lennox gas fireplaces and wired a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026RYU4W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 thermostat inline underneath. The switch is on the wall and the thermostat is attached to the sheet metal underneath the firebox.

Make sure that the fireplace is pressed firmly into the back of the house. Our chandelier did not work either. We called Mattell and they sent a replacement within 3 days (over Christmas holiday!!) It works. The phone number is on the directions.

The switch for your fireplace is low voltage. What you need is the Insteon 2450. I have an Insteon 2450 installed on my fireplace and it does the trick. Same goes for garage door openers.

This is a thermostat that is normally used for 220V (or even 110V) AC systems. Other thermostats are typically used for DC systems (e.g. where a transformer is present in the circuit).I would consult the gas fireplace wiring diagram.That being said, the thermostat mechanism seems to be MECHANICAL so it could switch any electrical signal...which means it could work for your gas fireplace even though that is NOT the anticipated use for this thermostat.There is no battery or control circuitry/LED in this simple unit.

I wouldn't recommend it. It puts off light, but gets really hot. I bought it to use with a light box and it doesn't work well for that.

NO! This unit needs 120VAC in order to operate and only switches 120VAC. Most fireplaces use 12 VDC to 24 VDC for switch controllers.

If you can turn your fireplace on/off with a regular wall switch you buy at a hardware store then you can use this to do it remotely. It is just a remote controller AC wall switch. For your gas fireplace, unless you can turn if off and on electrically, this will not work.There are electrically controlled natural gas valves that you might be able to rig up with a remote controlled switch but I don't know an out of the box solution.

No it doesn't work as simple light switch. There is an on off function for the sensor though. I do not see a lack of this function as a problem at all. :) I still recommend this.

It will do fine with a cfl. Make sure you are using cfls in rooms that typically are lit for 30 minutes at a time and not areas that are quick on and off like a bathroom. Otherwise you will shorten life of bulb and receive no energy savings.

Yes, the fireplace will still work. If you buy the optional blower though the blower itself will not work without electricity. The fireplace has an igniter to light the fireplace that work from a single aaa battery and it is easy to light. Our living room is 25'x25' and it takes about 30min for it to go from mid 60's to mid 70's if you leave it run. I usually leave it on 2 almost 3 on the dial and it keeps the room about 72.
