I'm going to be running a Harman Accentra Insert for the first time this winter and I'm not sure how I want to control it. I have a few scenarios in my head and would like to hear any comments and suggestions. Running a wired thermostat is not an option, the stove is in the living room and the existing oil thermostat is in the hallway. What settings would I set the Accentra to if I am going to use a thermostat? Can I mount the remote device in the fireplace with the stove or will it be too hot back there?
Option #1:
Don't use a thermostat at all, just let the stove control the heat.
Option #2:
Buy one of the skytechs and then I would be able to move the sensor around the house.
Option #3:
Buy some sort of fancy Honeywell or Lux, that will allow me to replace the oil thermostat as well. I think some of them can control 2 heat devices, so I could set it to run the pellet stove, but say if the house temperature dropped below 50 degrees for some reason then the oil would kick on. Anybody using something like this? What model are you using.
Option #4:
Buy a regular wireless Honeywell or Lux and mount it next to the existing oil one.
Thanks
