Specify SXKT Controls: Remote, Android App and Wi-Fi

“Smart” is not a complete control specification. Record each requested function, what is included and how the installed unit will be handed over.

On this page

List each required control in the SXKT quotation: handheld remote, onboard display, phone App and smart-home interface. Record what is included and what is optional.

The current KT Adjustable-Flame Burner reference describes remote operation, an onboard rising display and 20 flame levels. The current SXKT-001 includes a Chinese/English Android App as standard, using the supplied private download and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection; Bluetooth is not supported. Smart-home connection and an external fuel tank are optional. Confirm the supplied software version and ordered options for the exact configuration you are purchasing.

Write a function requirement, not just an accessory name

Record the commands required from each control and request the corresponding instructions. Specify App and integration functions individually.

Keep the flame setting separate from measured heat output

The linked KT reference specifies 20 flame levels. The public KT family manual, marked 2026.08 FINAL, also describes stepped adjustment. A displayed setting or percentage is a control indication; this article does not establish a calibrated heat-output percentage or a guaranteed flame height for each setting.

If the quotation, manual and actual interface use different terms, ask SXFireplace to identify the applicable version before approval. Do not carry a “stepless” description from older copy into a purchase specification that requires stepped controls.

Agree what happens without connectivity

Document the approved local operating and shutdown method for the delivered unit. At handover, the operator should know where those instructions are and how to seek help if the phone, remote or network is unavailable.

This does not mean bypassing an alarm or attempting an improvised shutdown. The normal shutdown sequence and any fault response must follow the applicable manual. Ask the supplier to distinguish loss of connectivity from a warning that requires the appliance to remain out of use.

Make commissioning a controlled handover

  • Match the delivered SKU, control version and ordered options to the signed specification.
  • Keep any remote labelled for the correct installation when several units are present.
  • Record the supplied Android App instructions and any separately ordered integration instructions.
  • Have the authorised installer demonstrate the permitted functions in accordance with the applicable manual.
  • Explain displayed operating states and warnings for that interface without relying on a generic screen diagram.
  • Give the operator the manual, supplier contact and approved no-connectivity guidance.

Do not record passwords or account credentials on a publicly accessible project sheet. Keep any account handover within the owner’s approved process.

A compact control brief for the quotation

Use one line per control or option: project tag, model, function, included/excluded status, supplier response, document revision and commissioning check. Keep unanswered items marked as open.

For example, a room may require local and handheld operation but no app. Another location may require an approved integration. Record the current SXKT-001 standard controls separately from optional integrations, then confirm the supplied version at each location.

Connectivity does not replace supervision

A connected control system does not make a real-flame fireplace suitable for unattended operation. Follow the exact installation and operating instructions, including ventilation, fuel handling, shutdown, cooling and warning response. Never refill a hot or burning unit, and do not bypass a warning to restore phone control.

Use technical resources to identify the starting documents, then request a configuration-specific quotation with the project country, model and required control methods.

The smart bioethanol burner collection helps compare model families after the required controls are defined.
