"Failsafe" ESPHome Fireplace Controller

When asked what smart switch to use to control their gas fireplace, you see a lot of replies "do you want to be one software bug away from your fireplace turning on?" Granted, modern gas fireplaces have safeties in place to prevent un-lit open valves, runaway heating, etc., but some people would still rather have a hardware switch standing between them and fire. This project aims to be the best of both worlds: by running 5v power to the low-voltage switch box holding my fireplace wall switch (in my case, this involved pulling 5-conductor thermostat wire using the existing 2-conductor wire), you can power an ESP board running ESPHome. By running the actual thermostat switch signal through both a DPST and a (ESPHome-controlled) 3v relay, we can be sure that the fireplace is only "active" if the manual switch is turned on.

Power quality refers to the stability and reliability of electrical power supplied to electrical devices and equipment. It is essential for ensuring the proper functioning of electronic and electrical systems. Poor power quality can lead to various issues such as voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortions, and interruptions, which can adversely affect the performance and lifespan of connected equipment. https://apsindustrial.com.au/power-quality/
