Playing With Fire

Escea required a robust and reliable fireplace control system for their top-of-the-line range of gas fireplaces. As the brain behind the beauty, the controller allows fine grain adjustment to gas valves and fan speeds. The system is cloud connected via WiFi and can be remotely controlled over the internet.

Supporting Escea’s vision for large scale production, low cost and simplicity were key design concepts. Minimizing part count and design complexity without compromising functionality has become an established strength at Kamahi.

Designing safe high voltage hardware requires a thorough understanding of safety concepts and experience in choosing appropriate components. In depth knowledge of networking protocols, smartphone app design, and small memory footprint firmware development were crucial in achieving the final product.
