I found this company called Skytech . They have a wireless thermostat, model 3301 that they said will work on the Harman magnum stoves. Anyone ever hear anything about them or their product working on the Harman stoves?
I have not heard of them or remember anyone using a wireless 'stat to control their Harman. Not saying it can't be done, but I just don't remember reading about it.
Seems to me the only requirement would be the unit attached to the stove's control box would need a relay capable of the voltage and current draw of the switch. I don't know offhand what that would be. With a conventional 'stat hooked up you could easily measure the voltage (24V maybe?) and current draw if you have a multi-meter.
Please document what you find so others will have this as a resource in the future.

I purchased the Skytech remote control (wireless) thermostat on EBay. $109.95. I purchased from USA Fireplace. They said I could return it if it didn't work. Well... It works Fantastic! Easy to set up and use!!! Now I don't have to deal with any ugly wires stretched across my family room!!
