Is this a wifi compatible thermostat? Can it be operated remotely with a lap top or smart phone? Thank you.

no to wi fi , its not designed correctly , need to be very carful when turning off, touch dial , stays on if you do not check or be sure screen is in off position

No, you need to narrow your search for only that type if that's what you want.

It's a standard thermostat that has minimal remote control and monitoring capabilities. You can change the temperature remotely, but then anyone at the location can change it right back. There is no electronic lockout of the units controls. You would need to put a lock box around the thermostat to prevent tampering, just like a standard thermostat.

Hi Judy: I have 4 of these in 3 homes about 300 miles apart. I asume you are asking about manually setting the temp to heat or cooling and this can be done without Wi Fi. But I don't think you can program it without Wi Fi. That means you can program temps for time of day and then different temps @ night for each day. For heat I have them set for 70 during the day and 68 during the night. For cooling its 74 during the day and 70 @ night. All of this can be done remotely without driving 300 each way. Hope this helps.

No, and its dangerous to even consider using a device that requires a remote cloud internet service to power your home security. Its just a fancy toy right now. A serious smart home control system should work at your home, not in the cloud or on the Internet. It seems their new edition 2.0 is supposed to fix that.

Not from the remote iPhone app. Not sure about the setting directly on the thermostat

This is not a wireless control. It is wired directly to the fan/light, controlling only the device it is connected to.

It cannot be used alone. It is not wireless.It does not send alerts.It is really to be used to move the temperature sensor of a professional Honeywell Thermostat to another location without moving the control panel. You can also use several of them to "average" the temperature reading in several locations.

The thermostat is not pass code protected. For remote access your wifi should be pass code protected.

It would be nice to have an aswer to this question. I could imagine a device that works without a third-party web site, where you connect directly to the thermostat, but I would be surprised if this device had that ability. If someone can verify that it does, I will buy one, otherwise I'm going to wait.

The item is compatible with WiFi controller. You need the separate WiFi controller unit (ASIN: B00HCLRBZM) that will allow a free iOS / Android app to communicate to these controllers.

No, this has no wireless capability at all. It is a great thermostat however. I love mine!

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

It's not cheap, but I upgraded from this thermostat to a Honeywell YTHX9321R5061 Prestige 2.0. It works with my heat pump. It has an outdoor wireless temperature sensor. It has a wireless remote with remote temperature sensing, too. With an additional module, you can control it via the internet. If you can afford the unit, you'll love the way it works.

This does not have wifi (wireless) capability. This works by outputting a open or closed contact based on the resistance between two input pins. You could I assume create a wireless temperature sensor using a temperature probe and a controller with a wireless interface - say a Arduino or Raspberry PI for example. However, you would also have to (I assume) provide a wireless relay control circuit - by the time you have done all that you are better off just using a controller (Arduino or Raspberry PI). If the point is that the temperature being sensed is in an adverse environment (remote?) that also complicates issues. So, the short answer is I don't think so, wrong device for the job.

No, the app just allows you to set temperature, schedules and system fan on and off. The thermostat is just a regular digital thermostat with built in WiFi so it has no capabilities beyond that. But it works great for what it needs to do.

YES!!! I installed this thermostat to be able to control it remotely from Florida. However, if you place your internet, phone & cable (like Comcast bundle) on SEASONAL HOLD while you're away from home, you will lose the internet connection & will not be able to control the device. The heat & cool systems still work but you have no control remotely. COMCAST will not leave internet ONLY activated. It's all 3 bundled services on or off. BUMMER!!

If you use wifi and want to control it from you iPhone or Andriod phone you need a power source.Just buy a transformer from the maker of this thermostat. It cost 14 USD. Just go to http://store.radiothermostat.com/ and here you find the transformer.
