I am toying with the idea of hooking up a thermostat to my Accentra this season and I would like some feedback from people that have done this before.
I have read previous posts about installing and how to use the thermostat.
Do you have your Harman on Auto ignition or manual?
I am thinking that with manual the stove will not shut down but rather keep the fire going with minimal pellet usage (my accentra uses 1lb/hour).
I am concerned that in Auto mode the stove will be in constant shut down/ignition mode to satisfy the tstat.
The way I see it when the Tstat switches to the lower temp (16.5C) it will close the circuit which means the stove will think theres a problem with the sensor and shut down.
When the temp drops to 16.5 then the tstat opens the circuit then the stove resets and starts the ignition.
Wont the stove be doing too often? Or the stove wont actually have time to completely shut down?
Opinions please!
