Durablow TR1003 On/Off Gas Fire Fireplace Remote Control Kit + Thermostat + Timer with LCD Screen for Millivolt Valve, IPI Module, Replaces Wall Switch | Thermostat, Wireless Thermostat Control Module

Perfect thanks. Works great. Just what I wanted. Fast delivery too.

Works very well Easy to install

Looking at alternatives that cost 3-4x as much but offered no other features I decided to give this a try. It arrived quickly, was well packaged, and exactly as described. Installation was a breeze; took less than five minutes to remove the existing milivolt wall switch and install the receiver in its place using only a screwdriver. Another two minutes to program the remote. Functions are intuitive and the remote well labeled with an easy to read display. Overall much better value than the $$$ ones sold by our fireplace installer. My only complaints are aesthetic: the housing for the remote and the wall plate/switch are stark white...there is no color choice. Nothing in my house is white; our switch places are either chrome or bronze...even almond would be better than this white, which looks cheap compared to anything else we have in the room. The switch place has two large holes in the face (one for the "learn" button and the other perhaps for a receiver?) which are unattractive, and it was packaged with chrome screws rather than white, which would have provided a more finished look (I will replace them). I recently installed a fan timer in another room (a Lutron product) that came packaged with white, almond, and bisque faceplates. This one should have come with almond or offer color options in different packages. Appearance aside, the remote is rounded on the bottom so won't stand on end; I would prefer a flat base or a mount of some kind...will probably end up using velcro or making a wooden base so it isn't just floating around with all the other remotes. Overall 10/10 for value, ease, and function. 7/10 for appearance. We'll use this all winter and if it fails to perform after one season I will update this review.

The item arrived in good condition and was easy to fit. The extra features, not on our original handset, are an excellent improvement.

This is the second thermostatic control remote control unit that I have purchased for my gas fireplace. The first was purchased almost 3 years ago on Amazon, and it stopped working after a few months of use. It was not a user friendly remote. This one has been in now for about 2-3 months. The remote is easy to use, and so far has worked perfectly. I am hoping it continues to do so.
