I sent you a separate message with screenshot. Happy to give you access or test anything else.
FYI I upgraded to your latest today and still have 3 controls for each fireplace.
Do they all have unique ids?
Yes it recognizes each separately and by their unique ID. It also recognizes each IP correctly and initially controls each fireplace. But there are triplicate controls for each entity and the connection gets lost with each fireplace pretty easily. See attached.
Latest version working well for me! I have only been using cloud control. Am getting consistent control with obvious delays sometimes reading status correctly. Am curious if you can enable timer function that the remote has? I can set up an automation in HA of course. Do you plan on moving this over to core? Thanks again!
Just come to see info on the Intellifire interface.
I just had HHT install one and it’s blinked offline for the second time. Of course the HA Integration is inop.
The first time, I forced a reconnect through my Ubiquiti Dream Machine and it was good.
This time, no soap. I’ll do the module reset and see where that leaves me.
And thanks jeef.
U’ da’ man!
Geeze,
That was fun… not.
Called HHT. Went through the first “gauntlet” and finally got to talk to someone name “Ty”. If I’m honest he wasn’t all that familiar with the system.
We got the thing back online after about 45 minutes on the phone. He (allegedly) pushed a software update to the wifi module that is purported to help the problem.
He did say that another update is scheduled for April 1st. H’mm April Fools day?
Once all that was done, I had to completely redo the setup in HA.
Now everything works as prescribed. Until it doesn’t.
Thanks to all here for the good information.
cheers,
@doobes What version of firmware did he push? I’m curious to compare to my own version?
fwiw, I plugged my ECU into a smart plug and wrote a script to reset the whole system anytime my fireplace becomes unresponsive via WiFi. It roughly works like this:
ECU off
Delay 5
ECU on
Delay 10
Reload the config entry for the intellifire integration
Delay 2
Turn on the flame
Delay 10
Set the flame to my preferred default (killing power loses prior settings)
Delay 3
Set the LEDs to my preferred brightness
Delay 3
Set the blower to my preferred level
I’ve only had to use it a couple of times - but it works great.
You guys might want to pull down the hacs version. I’ve got the ability to switch between cloud and local control. Also, there’s a sensor in there that will tell you how long the last read/poll was so if it’s on local control and it hasn’t read successfully for five hours, he probably need to reset your ECM.
I’m at at least 2 to 3 pull requests away for moving this functionality into core, and probably the more of the view that use hacs the lower my core usage will be which would make it slower but whatever 
Thanks @jeeftor - I am indeed on the hacs version. I am using the cloud version as it appears to be consistently stable whereas the local version hiccups occasionally. Even still, with the hacs version set to cloud mode, I’ve had to reset my ECM twice in the past few months…which I expect is due to wifi module having issues (not your code )
What I do when the cloud gets unstable as I’ll switch to local in the config menu, and that sometimes fixes it. But if not, I do a reset
This is what the integration tells me:
Thanks @doobes. My vesion is 0.3.2+hw2. I assume there is no self-service firmware upgrade that can be done? Any suggestions on how to streamline contacting Intellifire and getting them to push out a firmware upgrade?
FYI @jeeftor, when using the HACs integration, I can’t see the firmware version. But if I click the visit link, it takes me to the wifi module’s webserver and I can see a json output of many parameters including the firmware version:
Honestly don’t know if this is user upgradeable.
I had to call them.
Good luck.
My integration also showed firmware version 0.3.2+hw2.
I logged in to HHT Web Wifi Module Interface - login and it had a “Check firmware update” button. I clicked it a few times and then “Soft Reboot”.
Now I have Firmware: 0.3.10+hw2 (after refreshing integration).
I can’t quite say how or when it works, but you may want to try. I may have gotten a firmware upgrade this way.
I’d have to look. I forget when it pulls it can you tweak between local and remote control and see if one pulls it better
This worked! I clicked the check firmware update button, which seemingly did nothing. Then I hit soft reset, and some time later when I logged back into the web interface, the unit was updated to 0.3.10+hw2.

Been reading through this post, I just found out that i have a fireplace that supports this module. With all the issues everyone had/has, is it still worth getting? Are the issues still happening, i saw that they release a firmware update in April.
They just pushed a server update. I can look on Monday. I changed the login format as well
Give the hacs integration a go if you have a chance.
