If I lose power, which happens frequently, will the thermostat automatically reconnect to wifi when the router comes back on ?

I believe it depends on how your wifi network responds to an outage. I have had similar issues with power outages. If the network reconnects the thermostat will also. I have had to manually recycle the router after an outage. Not a thermostat issue.

Yes , as of matter of fact I have my router on a digital timer so it resets it's self in the middle of the night , as you know sometimes a router needs to be reset at times , but with the timer it does it ever night for me , I have it so it kills the power to the router for one minute and I have never had a problem with the thermostat rejoining the network

Can't say that it will happen 100% of the time, but I just experienced this last weekend, was away for a couple days, got an email saying the thermostat wasn't able to connect to the cloud site in over 24 hours, Called my neighbor, he confirmed the power was out, but by the time I got back home everything had returned to normal, the power came back on and the thermostat reconnected without issues. But when dealing with wifi and the amount of variables you could be dealing with with any access point, I'd guess your mileage may vary.

The outage causes them to automatically turn to the off state. You do not need to reprogram the outlets though. You do need to turn the appliances back on with the remote.

I only use my laptop. It doesn't seem to reconnect automatically but its as easy as clicking on the button at the top of my computer that makes it reconnect.

It lost wifi on one occasion and hasn't since, a friend explained to me that if I restarted my router that could fix the problem. And since then I haven't had any issues. I've been using it at work and its been fine all day.

Yes, it would not connect to my wireless router. I finally got a Honeywell wireless thermostat and had no problems.

When it happens to me (rarely; typically following a power outage), I reboot the radio and re-establish the wireless connection. After that everything has been fine

Unless there is a part of the system I missed in the manual, no, this thermostat will not alert you when a low temp is reached. You will be able to log in at any point (so long as the wifi signal is available) to see what the current temp is, however.

I have a 12k BTU unit and it has automatically come back on after an outage of about a half hour.

Everything goes through their servers. They like to say that, for security reasons, their servers are the only thing the thermostat will communicate with. I would say there is typically a few- second delay for commands to be related. After a certain period of time of lost contac, the thermostat automatically reverts to its last "occupied" program if it is not on hold.

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.

once its set up on your wifiit can be turned off, and will find your wifi again when turned back on

Yes, if the computer sleeps the wifi will not reconnect when it resume. In many cases, I need manually reconnect.

Not for this model. All you need is Wi-Fi. The thermostat connects directly to your Wi-Fi router / access point. When you do the initial setup you choose the SSID of the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to and enter in the password. From there it connects directly to Honeywell and you can manage it from their website or phone app. Some people have noted issues with it disconnecting from the network, but if you force WPA2 that should resolve it.

Any time the server loses contact with thermostat, for any reason, you get an email notification. You also are notified when the connection is restored.

Here is the answer taken from another Honeywell WiFi thermostat. It worked for them. The hint was from Nest. Here's what Nest says, "In some rare cases, Nest can experience intermittent Wi-Fi connectivity if the security on your Wi-Fi router is set to a mixed security mode (WPA/WPA2). Refer to your Wi-Fi router documentation to learn how to update your security to WPA2-only mode. Once the security has been updated on your Wi-Fi router, reconnect Nest to your home network."

From what I see online, I would say no. Thermostat must be Red Link Network enabled.
