Feit App to remotely control heater

android app to remotely control is "Feit Electric"

All page with subgroup Plugs
- when "OFF" is displayed, that indicates current state is off (not press to turn off)
- when no wording is displayed, that indicate current state is on (current flowing)
long press to open page with schedule and timer
- again "Power OFF" is showing current state on details page with schedule and timer
- on this page "Power ON" is displayed when current is flowing
- when "Power OFF" is displayed, click "Timer" adjust time amount and click Confirm still shows "Power OFF" and "The device will be ON after 1 minute" then the state changes to "Power ON"
  - first time I tried it, the heater was energized, but starter was clicking like there is no gas flow.
  - I then manually changed state to off then on and gas valve opened so maybe i just didn't wait long enough?
  - I did it a second time and I just hadn't waited long enough

EMPTY TANK IS 17.3 LBS
"FULL" TANK IS 36.8 LBS OF WHICH 17.3 LBS IS TANK AND 19.5 LBS IS PROPANE
(Mr. Heater regulator & ~2 feet of hose adds 0.8 lbs)

1 GALLON OF PROPANE ~= 91,500 BTUS
1 LB OF PROPANE ~= 21,529 BTUS

"FULL" TANK IS APX 21,529 BTUS/LB * 19.5 LB ~= 420k BTUS

HEATER ON FULL IS APX 170,000 BTU / HR (AND PRESSURE DIDN'T MATTER), HEATER WOULD RUN FOR 420,000 BTU / 170,000 BTU/HR ~= 2.47 HR
HEATER ON LOW IS APX 120,000 BTU / HR (AND PRESSURE DIDN'T MATTER), HEATER WOULD RUN FOR 420,000 BTU / 120,000 BTU/HR ~= 3.49HR
