Does this device function in a "cloud free" network? Do you need to connect to a 3rd party server to control, read, or even provision it?

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. It needs to only be connected to a router on your home network to get updates and weather info. Once connected to the WiFi, you can access it anywhere from your phone to change the temperature. Hope that helps.

Not sure about the network being cloud... But you don't need to connect to any server to use this... Connection to the server is only for remote access.

I have it running on an apple network.... What type of configuration are you planning or what function dobyou want it to perform

Hi Ryan, No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

It can function as a DHCP client. But if you wish your network to perform under DHCP you will still need a DHCP server. On my networks I use the firewall appliance as the DHCP server.

I could be wrong, but I don't see any such capability on the menus. It apparently does not have any built-in device communication capabilities in any of the menu trees,

U guess u can. I used 1 as access point and it worked. I believe cloud feature doesn't work if u use it as access

No, the unit connects to your phone by bluetooth, so your reading will proceed because they will still be able to connect. But your information won't go into the public cloud if you choose that option. Which in my opinion is stupid..

This unit can be used wirelessly and has direct access to their cloud. Unfortunately mine stopped working after 30 days

Yes, this was built for exactly that kind of use and environment. On initial setup, I believe that is the default behavior. Having said that, the one caveat with this device is the importance of the initial setup. It isn't difficult, but it will require a computer, network, proper cabling,and about ten minutes.

It needs the power to function properly... i have not loaded it with server 12 but i dont see why it would not work.

Absolutely. Mine takes constant VPN, Video Streaming, & Server traffic. If you didn't know some "cloud routers" have UBNT hardware at the core of them. This can do it man, you won't be sorry. You can also use the POE for Wireless Access Points and POE powered switches with the 48v adapter.

From a mobile device connected to your network. I have not been able to get it to work from a remote location but it will work when set up correctly

This NAS has a version of Linux running the device and I map right to the drive with the IP Address... there is no need for software, just drag and drop even I Linux.

It has cloud capabilities but I'm not sure if it is free. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Connect - yes. Work - may be not. It is devoid of any functionality and customer support is non existent. When it goes to sleep mode or powers off - only way to get it connected is remove and replug it back. There are better products out there

You cannot download directly from the cloud; it does not, as far as I know, have Internet/signal connectivity capability (an advantage for me). You have to use something to transfer the files to the device. It definitely can store an audio book. I have stored several podcasts, books, and music easily on the device.

YES!!! I have one connected up successfully with a HASP Key loading the software up in a VMs on Hyper-V and it should work in other virtualized environments. I'm not saying it will work with all software that requires it but for mine (a restaurant POS software) it does. It can be a bit of trouble with the original software that came with it with reconnecting the device after a reboot but I downloaded an updated version and no issue since then.
