Check out my test project: I upgraded an electric fireplace to use programmable lights and WLED. These fancy LED fireplaces are appearing in homes all over the place. I’ve seen them at State Fairs and home shows, and they’re a great alternative to standard fireplaces, with heat and light built in. They’re efficient and beautiful, but not quite perfect — I found this one free in a neighbor’s driveway, having been thrown out because of a very obnoxious and uncontrollable BEEP sound.
This guide shows how to disable the beep, and also how to upgrade the lights inside with programmable lights that can be controlled with a smart phone or with the included remote control that shipped with the fireplace.
