Can these thermostats be controled from a direct TCP/IP connection, with no Internet access on the network? I need an IP thermostat, without internet

Wow, that one is beyond my pay grade.... I know when I am in my house I can control it from my computer, but my computer is connected to network, which is connected to internet... don't know if the internet connection is necessary. This company was very fast at responding to my question when I first purchased it, maybe an email to them...

I can't answer either, sorry . Agree with Bigtexun....their support team has quick response and are knowledgable...I would contact them.

I have mine, and the ONLY way to control remotely is over the internet through the website. I'm not a computer genius, but the thing registers itself, etc... and you need to access it through the web. If anyone knows otherwise, let me know!

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.

There is an adjustment for the BTU output, but no thermostat. I think most applications would be for short term and therefore you would adjust the heat setting as needed.

With this model you can access the thermostat remotely via your computer, tablet or smartphone as long as there is internet service in the house. You can monitor and adjust the temperature remotely, change the programming, turn the fan on/off, etc. The unit requires a third wire which may or may not be present. We did have the third wire, but found out the control panel didn't support this unit and had to pay $400 for a new panel in order for the thermostat to work ($250 parts and $150 labor). That was an unexpected cost, but overall we are happy with the thermostat.

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

The Owners Manual specifically says that the on-board thermostat can be bypassed and can work with a wall mounted thermostat. Very easy to do. This ability is important as the heating unit must be installed not less than 6 feet from the floor, which would make the built in thermostat difficult for most people to reach. Adding a wall mounted thermostat is very convenient.

It has a thermometer and it can control split-ducts systems but it's not designed as a thermostat. The split-duct system would do that itself. This just sends the commands to power on and set a temp. After that, it's hands off.

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.

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).

Yes you can. Set the temperature that you want and press HOLD.When you return Press RUN SCHEDULE.If you want total control while you are away buy a NEST from Apple for $ 250.00.You can control this thermostat over the internet, from anywhere in the world. Pricey but awesome.

Hi Brian. This works through your present wireless internet service provider in the home where the thermostat is located. The phone app is just a nice way to link into that. We use it to turn AC on from San Diego when headed to Palm Springs.

I believe so but since I only have 1 HVAC, I suggest you research manufacturer specs to make sure. Just note that, as mentioned in my review, this product drops from WIFI so it is NOT as dependable as I wanted it to be. I find myself having to reset this often because whenever I want to control remotely, it is "disconnected"...which defeats the purpose of having it. You mileage may vary. I did try 4 different WIFI access points just to rule out incompatibility issues.

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.

No, I actually came across doing this and a these "speed controller" control current where as a variac (which controls voltage) is what you need to control heat. I wound up using my router speed controller for a shop fan. And got a variac for my heater.

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!!

Directly, no; indirectly yes. You'll need to contact the mfg tech support. They mentioned something about an alert service for a fee. The RadStat app allows control such as off/on, temp setting, home/away--normal thermostat actions. I think for the alarm (such as to note whether your heat has failed in the winter) you need to have the stat monitored, and I think some alarm companies do that too. There is chatter on their website forums about alarm.com.

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.
