Smart Home Integration with Modern Ember: Tips & Tricks

"Alexa, turn on the fireplace."
If that sentence sounds like the kind of lifestyle you're after, you're in the right place.

At Modern Ember, we believe your fireplace should do more than just look good — it should fit your lifestyle. That means smart tech, sleek design, and zero headaches when it comes to setup. Whether you're building a fully connected home or just starting to explore smart upgrades, our electric fireplaces make it easy to turn up the cozy with just your phone or voice.

Let’s break down how it works.

What Is a Smart Electric Fireplace?

A smart electric fireplace lets you control heat, flame effects, lighting, and more — all from your smartphone or with voice commands using Alexa or Google Assistant. It’s everything you love about a classic fire, minus the mess and with way more control.

Think:
✓ App-based controls from the couch or across town
✓ Hands-free voice commands
✓ Scheduling and automation
✓ Wi-Fi-connected convenience

Simple Setup, Seriously

No tech degree required. Here's what getting started looks like:

1. Install your fireplace (or insert it into an existing space).

2. Plug it in. Yep, that’s usually it — no hardwiring needed unless you want it.

3. Download the app (we use the Tuya Smart app – free + easy).

4. Connect to Wi-Fi and link to your smart speaker if you’d like.

Once you’re set up, you can say things like:
“Hey Google, turn on the fireplace.”
“Alexa, set fireplace heat to 72 degrees.”

And just like that, ambiance is automated.
