When it comes to automating your BlazeKing stove, having precise control over the air flow is crucial. One way to achieve this is by using a stepper motor to control the fan speed. However, this requires careful consideration of the limiter solution and its mounting.

Drilling a hole in the side of the pulley and tapping it for a long screw can provide a solid base for the limiter plate. This plate should have limit switches that detect when the thermostat reaches its minimum or maximum temperature. The limiter solution must be mounted next to the thermostat shaft, ensuring accurate detection of these limits.

If you trust the stepper counting system and don't expect it to damage the interlink system (belt/gear/motor/shaft) during operation, you may not need a limiter solution. However, this is dependent on the specific stepper motor used, which has 200 single steps per revolution in its standard mode.

In addition to the limiter solution, you'll also need to consider the timing pulley mounted to the thermostat shaft. This will require a way to mount the motor inline with the thermostat on the stove. A direct gearing system or connecting the stepper shaft directly to the thermostat control could work, but it's essential to have a secure mounting mechanism for the motor.

A timing belt between the two components allows for precise control and ensures that the motor can be positioned away from the thermostat shaft. Using a small timing pulley on the stepper motor can even replace the plastic knob on the stove thermostat.

For accurate control, a stepper motor is recommended over a servo motor. With this setup, you'll have precise control over the fan speed and air flow, allowing for optimal performance of your BlazeKing stove.

To further enhance the automation system, consider adding a button box for menu control and a way to automate the air control. This will provide a seamless user experience and ensure that your stove is always running at its best.

In addition to automating the stove, it's also important to have an accurate room temperature display. By placing the sensor next to the recliner chairs, you can get an accurate reading of how the room feels when someone is sitting in them. This information can be displayed on a Green LED Room Temperature display, providing valuable insight into the room's temperature and helping you make informed decisions about wood addition.

In conclusion, automating your BlazeKing stove requires careful consideration of the limiter solution, motor mounting, and timing pulley. With the right setup and components, you'll have precise control over the fan speed and air flow, ensuring optimal performance and a comfortable temperature in your home.
