I researched these wireless fireplace remote/thermostats and decided on this one for one major reason. It has the ability to set the swing temperature from the 2 degrees fixed on most down to 1 degree. This means it cuts off after the temperature exceeds 1 degree above setpoint and kicks on when it falls less than 1 degree below setpoint. With 2 degree swings you have to ride through 4 degree swings minimum which, in my opinion, is too much for a gas fireplace you are sitting anywhere near with the degree of radiant heating you get. The installation was as easy as it could be just disconnecting the bayonet connectors of the built in on/off switch and slipping on the built in bayonet connectors on the remote receiver unit. It even has connectors on the back of the remote receiver connections so you can piggyback the built in on/off switch on top of the remote receiver so, should you have the need to use it without remote you can. The build quality seems high and I am completely pleased with my purchase of this unit. It came and was installed in the late summer and I was thankful when our freak Halloween snowfall came this year and left us without power for a day including a cold night where my wireless thermostat kept the house warm without having to burn my entire tank by just leaving it on continuously.My old one finally quit after many years, This Skytech was easy to order, easy to install and works great
