Benefits of technology
[0008]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a method and a system for remotely controlling gas appliances, in which the user may use one tool to control various gas appliances without distance limitation.
[0019]Therefore, the present invention may synchronize functions of various gas appliances at home, and control them by an ordinary device such as cell phone and computer, from a distance away from home.
Problems solved by technology
Gas appliances, which are the device burning gas to perform a specific function, such as gas water heater, gas stove, gas clothing dryer and gas fireplace, have a high level of safety issue in home life.
Usually, it has a limitation in installation and operation of the gas appliances, such as the gas water heater which must be installed outdoors, the gas stove is provided with a safety device to automatically cut off gas when the temperature is too high, or when the flame is out unexpectedly.
However, it is very frustrating for the user to go outdoors in a cold weather to operate the water heater.
For example, in very cold weather, the fireplace needs time to warm up the room that, it has to be turned on a couple hours before the user arrives home.
Such circumstance cannot be resolved by using remote control because the remote control only works within a limited distance.
In addition, there are usually a lot of gas appliances at home, each equipped with a specific remote control that the user often has trouble finding the matching remote control to operate the gas appliance.

Embodiment Construction
[0024]A system for remotely controlling gas appliances of the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of gas appliances 10, a repeater 20, a network 30, and a remote control device 40.
[0025]As shown in FIG. 1, the gas appliances in the present invention include gas water heater, gas stove, gas clothing dryer, gas fireplace, and other devices which burn gas to achieve specific functions. Typically, such gas appliance 10 has a combustor 11, a gas supply 12 and other peripheral devices. The gas supply 12 supplies the combustor 11 gas for burning. The peripheral devices here are the other elements apart from the combustor 11 and gas supply 12, in the specific gas appliance. Take the water heater for example; the peripheral devices include an igniter 13, a blower 14, and water pipe 15. Different gas appliances may have different peripheral devices. In the present invention, the gas appliance 10 further has a controller 16 and a plurality of sensors 17. The combustor 11, ...

The present invention provides a remote control system that includes at least a gas appliance; a repeater, and a remote control device. The gas appliance is connected to the repeater through a Zigbee transmission, and the remote control device is connected to the repeater through a network (internet or telecommunication network). User inputs a command at the remote control device, and the remote control device transmits the command to the repeater through the network, and then the repeater will control the gas appliance according to the command. The gas appliance is provided with sensors to detect data in regards to the gas appliance. The data is transmitted to the remote control device and shown on a screen through the repeater and the network.
