[ritchierich (Michael)]

Do you have a pilot flame that is always on? Do you have to hold on until it’s on and off on remote until it’s off? If so you have a similar setup as me:

I assume your fireplace has a pilot flame? If so you have the same valve as me. The dry contact module that others are posting won’t work with your fireplace because like you tested the remote is basically engaging a motor that turns one way on positive and the other way on negative, thus opening and closing the valve. I was able to set mine up with an Arduino, SmartThing Zigbee Shield, and a MotorShield: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoMotorShieldR3 Unfortunately others have been saying the ST Shield has been out of stock for a while and that is the glue to integrate the Arduino with ST. Edit: just looked and Shield is back in stock on ST store. Let me know if you want any further details. Obviously you need to get the hardware first. I have an Arduino doing other things i…

But unfortunately ST discontinued the Arduino Thing Shield so you would have to figure out something else to integrate with ST.
