Control a Electric Fireplace with HA (HomeSeer or CQC)

[lanski]

Hello,
I have this Electric Fireplace.

Can I control that with an HA Software like HomeSeer or CQC ?

I think a better question is can you control it with X-10, Z-wave, InsteOn, or PBC.   These are the "control" mechanisms that HomeSeer can control. 
The way i'd approach this is the following:
1. can you simply plug/unplug to turn the "thing" on/off?  If so then a very simple appliance module is you're answer.
2. if not 1, then you need to look deeper into how the "thing" works.  Are you willing to take it appart to determine the buttons/switches that allow you to do the functionality you seek?  If so you may still find the answer.
 
If it is a simple button that turns your "thing" on/off... then you might be able to setup a Relay module linked to the internal contacts of the button. 
 
other than these two options it is beyond my talents.

It looks like it supports IR control, so using any IR blaster (USB-UIRT, Global Cache iTach, etc.) with home automation software should do the job.  Check the link in my sig for software solutions which support IR.
