IntelliFire Wi-Fi fireplace modules provide app-based and Alexa control to various fireplaces. The modules do expose an unencrypted HTTP endpoint on the network that provides status information. This integration will read that URL and create a set of sensors displaying the current fireplace state.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
switch | Switch or outlet | |
climate | Thermostat | |
fan | Fan | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |

What people report
IntelliFire fireplaces can use local or cloud; setup hung if local poll failed and cloud fallback was used.

| IntelliFire fireplace | Partly works | Local or cloud option; setup hang with cloud fallback fixedSaved copyThe problem If the fireplace's local `/poll` endpoint doesn't answer during setup but the cloud API does, the IntelliFire config entry never finishes setting up. `_async_wait_for_initialization` loops every 10 seconds until bootstrap stage 2 times out (~5 min), the setup task is cancelled, and the entry goes to `SETUP_ERROR`, not `SETUP_RETRY`. The fireplace stays unavailable until the user manually reloads the integration or restarts HA, even though the fireplace is reachable via the cloud (the IntelliFire app keeps working). A single slow `/poll` response at boot is enough to trigger this. … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #185563 · 2026-10 |
