Battery Operated Fireplace Remote
Pros: This unit works great and was simple to install. The remote transmitter utilizes a Radio Frequency signal, instead of Infra Red, so the receiving unit can be hidden behind the lower grill on the gas fireplace. It came with a battery for the remote transmitter.
Cons: The remote transmitter uses an oddball and probably expensive-to-replace battery.

I purchased the “so called” battery operated fireplace remote expecting to get just that. Unfortunately, when the package arrived, the battery remote looked nothing like the picture in the description and required being plugged in to a 120 volt outlet to work. Needless to say, I immediately arranged to return the item to Smart Home.
On the positive side, the purchase, shipping speed, and return process were all handled expeditiously.

The Fireplace Remote was very easy to install and activate. It took a little over 3 mintues. The installation instructions were easy to read and follow. Very happy with the quality of the unit and the distance that the receiver operates is more than advertised in the manual! Very nice unit!
Keep in mind that you need 120V for the receiving unit. Although I installed my own electric to the fireplace which kept the unit hidden, the receiver came with a long electrical plug and connection wires which would possibly allow the receiver to be plugged into an electrical outlet close to the fireplace.
