Wiring Method (1) for *Millivolt Valve

Connect the two wires of the Wi-Fi controller box to the Millivolt gas valve at the TH, TH/TP terminals on the terminal block. Either wire can be connected to either TH or TH/TP terminals.

*ATTENTION: This Durablow device will NOT turn ON the Millivolt valve and fireplace main fire if the pilot fire or ODS pilot is OFF, or if the thermopile is defective (generating no micro voltage, 250-750mV). This is a safety feature.

[Diagram description: Shows the Wi-Fi Controller Box connected via wires to the terminals (TH, TP, TH/TP) on a Millivolt gas valve. It also shows a Thermopile / Pilot light connection.]

The Millivolt valve shown is for reference; your actual valve may differ. Consult your fireplace manual or the original maker to locate the TH, TH/TP terminals.

Wiring Method (2-1) for *DEXEN IPI Module & MILLIVOLT VALVE

Connect the two wires from the Wi-Fi controller box with the two BROWN wires from the harness of the IPI control model.

*The DEXEN modules can be replaced by Durablow IPI modules.

Section 4: FAQ & Warranty

FAQ (1/3)

1. WiFi pairing failed, why?

   A: There are four main causes for Wi-Fi pairing failure:

   • Incorrect WiFi SSID & password entered, or 5GHz signal used (5GHz is NOT supported). Double-check and enter the correct 2.4GHz credentials.
   • Router congestion: Too many connected devices. Restart the router or reset it with a new SSID for 2.4GHz.
   • Weak signal: Place the device, router, and phone closer together. Remove any metal obstructions.
   • Device not in "LEARN" status: Refer to 'Section 2' for details on achieving the correct status.
2. Can this controller replace a traditional wall switch / remote control kit?

   A: Yes! It offers upgraded functions like Timer and Schedule, works with Amazon Echo / Google Home speakers, and eliminates battery replacement issues or downtime associated with low batteries.

FAQ (2/3)

3. Cannot turn on fireplace?

   A: First, check your ODS pilot (low oxygen sensor), pilot fire, gas supply, wall switch, and thermopile. All remote models are not power supplies; they process millivolt voltage from the thermopile only when the pilot fire is on. Therefore, the fireplace cannot be turned on if the pilot fire is OFF or the thermopile is not generating voltage (when heated). This is a safety mechanism against gas leakage. Please check these components before returning the unit.

4. What AA, AAA battery brand to use?

   A: Use Leak-Proof AA, AAA batteries. Energizer AA & AAA Ultimate Lithium Batteries or equivalent leak-proof batteries are strongly recommended.

   ATTENTION: Battery leaks can damage remote control devices and will be considered improper use by the user.

FAQ (3/3)

5. Can this controller be paired with a Z-wave hub?

   A: No, this controller is for Wi-Fi use only. Other smart home systems like Bluetooth, Z-wave, ZigBee are not currently supported but may be available on future models.

6. Can I share this device with others?

   A: Yes. Go to the device control panel, tap "...", and find "Device Sharing".

7. Can I set smart automation or SIRI shortcut?

   A: Yes. Open the Smart Life APP, tap 'Smart' in the bottom navigation, and then tap ‘Create Scene’ to set up your own automation combinations.
