The new technology revolutionises the way fire is made in a stove. A stove fire is cleaner and more beautiful than ever. The software is integrated in a microcontroller equipped with a WLAN module. The controller is installed in the oven body and is supplied with power via the plug-in power supply unit. The technology uses a sensor to analyse the temperature in the combustion chamber to the second. The microcontroller analyses the data and continuously regulates the various air flows in the stove via fully automated air flaps to create the perfect conditions for clean and low-emission combustion. The flamemonitor app provides up-to-the-second information on the combustion quality of the stove. To start the app, select your stove. A brief animation shows you how to light the stove correctly. Throughout the combustion process, the technology adjusts three different air flows to the fire every second, maintaining perfect burning conditions at all times. The performance in the app shows you the current combustion of your stove. The perfect time to add wood is calculated and displayed in the app. In addition, a soft blue light signal in the stove body alerts you to the right time.
