Can this switch be used to control a gas fireplace insert?

If you have a regular electric switch now, then yes it can. I don't think it is code compliant though, because a fireplace may need to be on a timer, especially if it is direct vent. My condo fireplace had a switch, and the association came in a changed them all to timers - minimally to save money. a zwave control is interesting, cause it could be used for back-up heat if not there.

No, however I use a zwave outlet and just plug in a cd converter with an appropriate relay. Very simple

Don't know, I do not own one with the diaphragm switch. If switch is set at mfg might need to call them.

Sorry, I have not used the switch in that capacity. However, this switch appears to be a single pole switch.

Absolutely! The contact is isolated so it can switch anything up to it's current and/or voltage rating. Your fireplace mV thermocouple signal is not a problem.

Yes. That is why I purchased a few of these switches. Keep in mind that there must be a neutral wire available in the switch box to connect to this switch.

No. The switch is rated for the low voltage (24v) and current associated with a room thermostat. Although this device could be used to control an intermediate device which in turn could turn a light on or off.

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.

Yes, provided the control voltage to the thermostat is roughly 24 volts or less. Just make sure your wall furnace doesn't send 120 volts to the thermostat. I've never seen one that does, but I've never seen yours! I'm guessing that this will work fine. I use 6 of these to control hot water baseboard heat (which uses a 24 VAC control voltage) and 1 more for a gas fireplace (that also runs off low voltage). BTW, assuming this is compatible with your system, it is a great thermostat.

I would think so. I use it on a gas fireplace. The thermostat is located across the room so that it is convenient and not too close to the heat source

I'm not really sure to be honest with you. Our fireplace insert was built into out entertainment center so we have an electrical outlet to plug it into. As long as it is the right measurement as your fireplace I don't think it would be a problem the only concern would be the plug in.

You would need to bring both 120v to the device and the low voltage wires from the fireplace to it as well. If you can make that happen it should work.

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

My switch is GE5368 and is used for controlling a photo sensitive night light when we are not home. It works great for that and is the grounded version of the switch. Seems to me it would work on almost all applications.

Yes, that switch would work fine, assuming you have wire properly. It's actually a little overkill. An SPST switch would work and be less confusing to wire properly.

Sorry, I can't say. I used it for a different application. I can tell you that it's a pretty standard switch. First position is (off) 1 click clockwise is maintained switch (ignition) push in on key is a momentary switch (electric choke) further turn clockwise is another momentary switch (electric starter) ignition remains on throughout

Yes, but its not recommended! To secure normal electricity flow, better use normal switch

I would say that this unit can control anything that is low voltage controlled (ie. solenoid). I don't think it would work as a switch on a 120v pump for example.
