Adding Neutral into switch box for smart switch

I ended up putting a smart Switch on the Fan for the Fireplace and using the power from the Fireplace Fan Plug to a 120v to 24v step down converter then to a 24v Contact Relay to open/close the circuit going to the Gas Valve. I can either turn the Fireplace on manually or via ST. However, if the Fireplace is turn on manually, then I can’t turn it off via ST. Works great and no one really touches switches in my house anymore…:rofl:


Here’s a good thread.
