ABSTRACT:
A wireless damper control device comprises a damper positioned in a flue, movable between a closed position where the flue is blocked and an open position, a damper controller which sends a damper signal which moves the damper between the open position and the closed position, and a fire side controller which transmits a fireplace signal to open a gas valve to initiate combustion when a fire is desired at a fireplace, and to close the gas valve to terminate combustion when a fire is no longer desired at the fireplace, and which receives a damper status signal from the damper controller indicating whether the damper is in the closed position or the open position. When a fire is desired at the fireplace, the fire side controller transmits a damper control signal to move the damper to the open position, and the fireside controller transmits the fireplace signal to open the gas valve after receiving the damper status signal indicating that the damper is in the open position, and the fire side controller is wirelessly connected to the flue side controller.
