Hi, I would like to equip my fireplace insert with an automation that will measure the temperature of the flue gas in the chimney and control the air supply damper based on that.
Hi, I would like to equip my fireplace insert with an automation that will measure the temperature of the flue gas in the chimney and control the air supply damper based on that.
Systems like this can make the whole burning process much more efficient, using up to 30% less wood. Which is great. Plus, they can be very user-friendly and alert the user to add wood to the fireplace.
All you have to do is measure the temperature with a ceramic sensor that can withstand high temperatures and a servo drive to control the air supply damper.
All the logic should be able to be set up through Home Assistant.
I believe that similar automation would save many users a lot of stress, especially now that winter is coming and there is an energy crisis.

- Which HW Kincony would handle this and how?
- Can you give me any advice?
