Can this be used to turn on gas fireplace? I believe it's a mili-volt switch (not a standard 120v on/off 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.

I would email the manufacture, there were great to correspond when I communicated with them. I do believe that your anwser is yes, for I used it to turn a test 12v light on in series with a battery and this switch during my planning stages. There is also a momentary position, which you will not need. There is also a sence lead that can take a input to tell your controller, but you will not need that either.

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.

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.

I do have 2 gas fireplaces, but I did not buy Mr. Heater for that purpose. I bought it to hook up a gas space heater. I am so sorry that I can't help you as I had both of my fireplaces hooked up by professionals.

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

While I have not tested it, I'd guess no. 12V parts and 120V parts are very different. If the pump has a power supply that plugs into the wall you can use the switch to turn the power supply on and off.

I haven't tested it, but I don't see why not. It's just a remote on/off switch. As far as I know, a switch that does 12v will also do 6v. Quote from the Internet: "The switch doesn't care (generally) what the voltage is (within reason)." - Danny in CO

Yes. It is a mechanical device that operates a switch. It does not connect to the wiring. If you happen to have 240V, or 110V, or 3,000V running through the switch, it doesn't matter.

Probably not. It's not a voltage converter & is better for small things. I plugged in my heating pad & it blew the circuit & my heating pad.

The On/Off version switch will turn 120 Volts AC on and off. What type of electrical interface does the gas fireplace have to turn it on and off?

this may work for that. Another very easy alternative is to use a regular z-wave thermostat, so you don't get too hot in the room. You will need a 24V power supply for the thermostat, and then just google which two connecitons for your low-voltage wires from your fireplace. Fairly easy, and gives automatic temperature control for the room.

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.

You would not even need an external switch since the round button in the middle of the device acts as an on/off switch. I use the relay on my fireplace and it works just fine.Make sure you have 120V available on your fireplace. Mine had only low voltage available and I had to run a cable.

It should it is just a 120v switch and if you use less voltage on the switched side it should work. but I don't think 12v is enough to through the switch.

only is the stove has a milli volt switch... I have my doubts that it will work to control the temperature but it may. I used mine on a Natural Gas fireplace and it works just fine but it only turns it off or on to control the room temp.

I wouldn't these are for baseboard heaters , 220 volt and would work for 110 , if you are needing one to turn on na blower for your fireplace there are various good kits for this and use thermal switches that stick ( magnet ) to the fire box or are mounted and if you need one to turn on the gas it is a whole other kit and you would need to get one for that application , hope this helps .

I am not an electrician, but if your igniter switch controls when your fireplace runs, and requires less than 800 watts, i think this would be a great application. just check the fireplace manufacturers required electrical load. i would think for a gas fireplace no problem but for an electric fireplace it may require more than 800 watts.
