I want to control a fireplace. There are various dry contact switches but they all require line voltage which I do not have at that location. Hence, I need some solution that works with battery power. A relay I guess won't be a good option as it pulls current as long as it's active. In any case, what options are there?

Your only option is to get to know the ESP32 with a Relay board. I believe. -
I do find it odd that you have a fireplace on/off control powered by battery. I understand theyre usually low voltage to the fire place, but they usually have a 120 line.Comment

The actual turning on / off at the fireplace is (In my house) controlled by a regular 120v switch. The actual voltage that goes through it is not. I noticed this when I found that mine still worked during a power outage. I believe somehow the pilot light heating its safety sensor plate generates the small bit of current required.Comment

I don't have a fireplace on/off control powered by battery. Instead, I want one powered by battery. My current control is just an on/off switch, i.e. it closes or opens a low voltage circuit. It's literarily just one wire cut and the switch put in series. There is no 120V or any other power by that switch. Obviously, a remote(z-wave) controlled switch needs some power, hence the battery.Originally posted by tome10 View PostComment

What is the voltage on the circuit? The problem is the battery operation requirement. Battery = ESP32, but if you have low voltage, a Fortrezz
