I have a Heat and Glo SL5 installed in 2019. Currently it has a RCT-MLT /-II remote control, which is not working. A service call is between $100 and $350, a replacement remote is also $300+. Making a replacement with a smart one appealing.
Oh and the fireplace works, I can switch the remote to on and it lights etc.
I want to convert this to a smart application, we use google home. Does anyone know what sort of controller/remote I need to replace it with?
Thanks
How does the remote work? RF or IR?
The standard approach would be to get a blaster for the same type of communication and have it learn the commands. But since the existing remote doesn’t work, this will be hard.
You will have to see if you can get a hold of the commands in a document that you can use to program your blaster.
