What Is a Smart Fireplace Switch?
A smart fireplace switch lets you control your fireplace from the wall, your smartphone, or compatible voice assistants. EchoFire is a retrofit smart wall switch and Bluetooth receiver designed to add smart control to compatible fireplace systems without replacing the entire fireplace.
EchoFire provides convenient on/off control from the wall switch and can connect with the iFlame app for smartphone control. It can also work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home when paired with the required Flame-tec WiFi/Bluetooth Hub or The ONE. The system supports battery power or a 5V USB power supply and includes temperature-control functionality.
For homeowners looking to upgrade an existing fireplace, EchoFire provides a way to add modern smart-home control while retaining a physical wall switch. Its retrofit plug-and-play design makes it suitable for compatible existing installations as well as new smart fireplace installations. Always check the compatibility information for your fireplace before installation.
Will a Smart Wall Switch Work With My Gas Fireplace?
EchoFire is designed for compatible gas fireplace systems and can be retrofitted to existing installations. The product supports both millivolt and IPI systems, making it an option for homeowners who want to replace a conventional wall switch with smart fireplace control.
EchoFire can operate using AA batteries or a 5V USB power supply and provides on/off control through the physical wall switch. With the iFlame app, you can also control compatible fireplace functions from your smartphone. Alexa and Google Home voice control are available when EchoFire is connected with the required WiFi/Bluetooth Hub or The ONE.
Compatibility can vary depending on the fireplace’s control system and available features. Before purchasing or installing EchoFire, check the compatibility chart for your specific fireplace model and setup to confirm that the system is supported.
Modern Control for Millivolt Fireplaces
Your millivolt fireplace runs on a self-powered system — no external power supply needed. EchoFire was designed for exactly this setup. Installs in the same wall position as your current switch, adds Bluetooth for immediate app control, and upgrades to full WiFi control (Alexa, Google Home, and away access) when you add the optional USB power supply. No rewiring. No contractor. Whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing setup, Echofire installs in minutes—making it one of the easiest and most versatile fireplace controls available.
Use the onboard pushbutton for quick manual on/off operation, or take full control from your phone using the free iFlame Pro app. The app unlocks advanced features like a built-in thermostat to maintain your ideal room temperature and a battery health monitor that lets you know when it’s time to swap batteries.
For full remote access and automation, pair Echofire with the Flame-tec WiFi Hub, The ONE, or ONE Touch. Or simply connect a standard 5V power supply and the Echofire’s built-in WiFi takes over—no hub required. Once connected, you’ll enjoy smart home voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
Best of all, the manual pushbutton still works even if the batteries are drained, giving you peace of mind no matter what.
Upgrade to Echofire™—and bring modern comfort, control, and convenience to your fireplace.
Important:
Always verify compatibility with your fireplace model before installation.
