I want to access the features of the thermostat from a laptop on the same wifi network.Can I do this without the outside account?

No, you cannot connect directly to the thermostat. You have to create an account and connect via the third party server. However, the advantage here is the server will send you alerts if it loses connectivity with the thermostat (if you want it to).

You have to set up the account with Honeywell, as far as I can tell. It's super easy and no issue.

Unless there is a part of the system I missed in the manual, no, this thermostat will not alert you when a low temp is reached. You will be able to log in at any point (so long as the wifi signal is available) to see what the current temp is, however.

I personally don't have this device anymore, however, If my memory serves me right I believe so. On the other hand, I would not recommend this product as it's not entirely reliable a lot of resetting from what I recall. It may have just been a bad model but in any case for the money I would rather recommend to anyone looking to have wireless access to their thermostat to simply upgrade to the latest Honeywell Smart. It's really reliable and has Wifi built in. No need for exterior sensor as this picks up your local temperature from the web. I've had one now for close to a year and I must say I love it.

Not really. I think you're asking if it would be restricted because of the wifi scale. The scale actually connects to your computer which is connected to the wifi and programs itself like that. Shouldn't be an issue. Might be with the type of encryption you have on the wifi though.

No, you must register and connect to their site, thermostat.motison.com. If their server is down, or they go out of business, you're out of luck, and are left with not only a dumb thermostat, but an ugly one at that!

Yes you can view it from your laptop. You will have to make an account though

That's the whole reason for buying a wifi thermostat so you can operate it from anywhere from your cell phone. It works great. Dee

Yes you can use it without Internet but you lose the remote capabilities. It would act as a programmable thermostat.

If you have configured your Venstar Skyport account correctly and you are able to control the thermostat using your Venstar smartphone app when you are at home, then you should be able to do so from anywhere that your smartphone has access to WiFi. Obviously, your Internet connection at home will need to be working when you are away from home.

John K, The only device you need at the location where the thermostat is installed is internet with WiFi capabilities, then you can communicate with your thermostat anywhere in the world thru the World Wide Web. John P

Kurt, I am pretty sure that the answer to your question is no. You can control more than one thermostat from one IPhone or PC, but each HVAC unit will require its own thermostat.

No. You can operate the thermostat just as you would a normal thermostat but for remote operation, you must have the unit synced with working internet (wifi) connection.

I emailed Radio Thermostat support and received the following answer:i) Press Menu->Networkii) On network screen, select radio with Wi-Fi module installed.iii) Press lower left corner of the LCD screen (hidden button).iv) You should be presented with two buttons, press "Restore Factory default settings".v) Wait 30 seconds and then press reset button on thermostat (physical button next to wire terminals).I am posting it here because these directions appear to be nowhere else on the internet. I have tested it and it does work. It reset both the CT80 thermostat as well as the WIFI module. The "hidden button" is a little bit to the right of the lower left corner.

Well, hard to answer. If you're in your local network with a wifi connexion, your can browse the 9100A web page, then you get the view. But outside this inner network, over the internet, I don't know how it could work. Bye

It is supposed to work over WiFi, so you theoretically can view it anywhere. In practice, I had two different units and both were defective --- neither one was ever able to connect to a WiFi network, despite multiple conversations with tech support. So, at least in my experience, the answer is that you cannot monitor it at all unless you connect directly to the unit.

These answers are not correct. You can log into the system settings using the IP address provided and turn off the wireless portion and connect it to an external router.

yes you can go to this link https://thermostat.motison.com/device-status/webapp to see what it looks like. Once you buy the thermostat and connect up it will show your temp. You can adjust it remotely from any computer as long as you know the link.
