Can it be setup and installed with NO Internet connection and just have it operate like a "dumb" controller?

the unit has a front panel switch that lets it operate manually. You can select a zone and watering time, but cannot run any program.Refer to www.onpointeco.com/activeFiles/wp1000Manual.pdf

Yes, you can connect to the WiFi radio of the controller and manage it directly...but you need a WiFi capable computer, tablet or smart phone. You can also connect it to a WiFi router without Internet access and control it through your home WiFi network. You won't be able to access it except when near the controller or near your home WiFi network in this case. If your WiFi router is connected to the Internet, our controller will automatically find our server and after you register you can access it from anywhere there is Internet.

No, you have to be on the internet to use it. The tech people are really good at setting it up for you.

No. There really isn't any installation required. Plug in your isp cable. You configure the router through a web browser. Once you are connected to the device go to 192.168.0.1 from web browser and set up there.

I think it would be theoretically possible. I'm not personally aware of any other controllers, but if you're into it you can hack your own together with something like an Arduino. I've had some success with that myself.

No it installs when you put the game in you need the Internet if you want to play online. Not WiFi the hardline

Yes. You need to have wifi or to connect it to a router with an ethernet cable.

NO, you need to install additional Hardware and Software to use it. It is just the barebones, you need to add the other layers to bring it Live!

I'm not sure but I don't see why you couldn't. I know mine wont work without wifi. This isn't much help but you should talk to your server and find out for certain

it should just kind of plug in. it will automatically install updates to your computer like a mouse or a printer would and then you start certain game platforms and its either compatible or it isn't. With certain games like star wars battlefront you can tell it exactly what buttons you want to do what, but with this controller a lot of the buttons were being interpreted as the same button like one on the number pad was left on the d pad and so fourth so you couldn't use parts of the controller. overall i got fed up with it.

I don't know exactly what you mean, Its a software, so it doesn't require an internet connection. You just install it to your pc.

Yes you can. It is a ton of wires to hookup...and requires quite a bit of thought. I suggest you position the controller box on the floor and just tap the button with your toe or you're gonna have wires everywhere on your desk.

Yes, but you would have to use the manual setup mode instead of the automatic setup. Not particularly a problem, but it does require more effort and thinking.

Hi there, what I did is enter the item name and model number on Youtube and searched for "how to install" There' s plenty of links. Here's the one I used - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AZlvEBEjAA It's fairly easy but make sure to follow the instructions to the T or the controller could get fried. Hope this helped! Best of Luck-

The unit will operate completely on its own with no external connections of any kind. It only requires that you plug it in for power and plus the video cable into a TV so that you can set your options and make sure your cameras are all pointed where you want to monitor. No internet connection of any kind is required.

Nope. The controller comes with a Wireless transceiver. Its USB plug-able. Just plug the transceiver into any free USB port on your PC. Turn on your controller and you're good to go. Simple as that.

There is a beta web interface so I don't see why not. Most people would use the IOS or Android app to do the set up and to act as a remote control.

Yes, it works independent of your OS or any other software. It is basically just a switch. No software whatsoever to install.
