Ok ideas please - We have a projector screen coming down
and the interior designer has decided to plant an electric fire - live flame directly below it!
There doesn't appear to be any contact closures or similar on the fire unit, only mains and IR remote.

What I'd like to do is send some sort of signal back to the Crestron processor which will de-activate the projector screen and stopping it from coming down - maybe a temperature sensor near the fire or something similar - worst case scenario we generate a message on the touchpanel warning if the fire is on? although I'd rather have something fail safe.

All ideas greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Chris.

Is the screen already mounted and the ID came in after, or is this a new project.

If the screen was already in place the ID can piss off, sounds like the ID is mot willing to work with you and the situation.

You cant possibly do this at all!

you going to put redundancies in there?

Nothing like hanging a wick over a flame.

Yet another ID only concerned about his/her vision

Yes its a gas with a physical flame, it doesn't touch the screen when down but is underneath it.

Thanks for all the above suggestions - This is something that has been added to the original design without us being notified.

However we have seen the fire on-site and therefore have to at least warn the client of the dangers.
As above I really don't want to integrate with something dangerous, the liability should be down to them.

Thanks,

Chris.

So is it Gas or Electric? Your OP says electric, now you are saying gas. what is the make/model number for the fireplace? Can the fireplace be connected to a thermostat (my guess would be yes if it is gas)? Is there an option for relay control of the fireplace?

We have controlled many gas fireplaces either with relay or thermostat control, Thermostat would be ideal as you can install a Crestron stat and have full control of the fireplace along with scheduling.

Hook the screen and fireplace up through a "Clapper" clap on / clap off.
