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?

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

You can install the program Honeywell Total Connect Comfort on your Smart Phone and use that program to remotely logon and control your thermostat. The thermostat must be connected to WiFi for communication.

I'm not sure. I can access it by wifi at home but don't know how to do it from the Internet.

For earlier versions of this thermostat the answer is definitely NO, as the thermostat is actually controlled from Honeywell's Momma Server, which is only accessible from the Internet. Your computer or IPhone actually communicates with the Honeywell server, which then communicates to the thermostat, all via the internet. A possible exception to this answer is with the very latest versions of this thermostat, which include an IPhone application. Whether that new application allows the IPhone to communicate directly with the thermostat without an Internet connection, I don't know, but I doubt it changes the control situation.

Unfortunately, no. You need physical access to the router and in most cases the password.

You will need a Wi-Fi internet connection to use it as a remotely operated thermostat.

I guess that I need to have a static IP account(which I don't have). Thanks a lot for the response!!!

Not as far as I know. If the computer to which it is attached is part of your wifi network, it can be accessed from any other computer in the network assuming you have the Dymo software installed. This is the way my wife uses it from her laptop.

I haven't used my system much but from all the material I've read no you can not, the app has a login that you have to get from a monitoring company.

Yes, you can reprogram it from anyplace you can get to the internet. Your thermostat is accessible from a Honeywell website https://rs.alarmnet.com/totalconnectcomfort which you have to log into.

In the setup menu there is an option to add it to the network. I have the ADT Pulse and it connected quickly & easily w/ the thermostat...

This thermostat is not Wifi capable. Honeywell's line of Wifi thermostats will have WF in the model number where this one has C. WF indicates wifi. They also make a line of thermostats that can be used for wifi if they have the Honeywell Gateway installed with it. But, again, this model is not capable of that.

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.

Yes, as long as your MAIN Wireless router has these options. It can be done manually through the software router set-up.

No extra Honeywell hardware needed. This thermostat connects to your wireless network and once it has internet access, grabs its settings from your profile on the Honeywell web site.

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