Am I correct in assuming an internet connection is not required? I'd like to control a few lights at our cabin when away but don't have internet.

You do not need an internet connection. In fact, there is no internet connectivity with this device. This means you can not turn up the cabin's heat, hot water, etc. from miles away. The range of the unit, in my experience is less then 100 ft., but some receiving devices can act as repeaters to extend the range.

This model does not require computer to be on. Just DSL or Cable or whatever ISP device you may have need to be on.

Yes. You need Internet. Also you have to know your ip address and open a port for your router

No it does not require internet or 'wifi'. This uses a wireless connection from the camera to the receiver. The receiver then attaches to your tv or monitor via a rca video connector. The camera and receiver both need to be plugged in to AC power though, so it is not completely wireless.

Yes you can still use them with no wifi. It can still be configured. But without Internet service you will not be able to view them on devices unattached( I.e. cell phones or off site computer)

Dear Amazon Buyer, no, it does not have to be connected to internet. Only if you want to remotelly monitor via Apps or any other devise logged to internet. As an additional information all camera cables are same lenght so from console all cameras will be at same distance but in desired directions. It is not WiFi ready.

If it has a light, all you have to do is put a little bit of electrical tape over it. Been there done that...Modem, router, etc. Hate that, too! ;)

Does not need internet connection (except maybe to update maps if needed).. Used this device in Italy, worked like a charm... had no problems... Good luck !

Yes, lights have to have power. However you can dim lights to nothing through the app.

You just need to have a connection to your PBX, whether or not it is on the internet. If your PBX is on your LAN, then no, you do not need an internet connection.

This is not a network product, sure it can work without internet, this is a plug and play system. Only need the internet if you want to remote viewing, thanks.

No internet connection needed. It simply boosts your phone (or data device) signal out to existing cell towers, that it wasn't able to reach on it's own antenna and power. I think I read it doesn't boost a 4GLTE data signal, though. It is powered by a 6vdc, 2.5amp wall jack, plugged into 100-240vac. I guess if you wanted, you could modify it to run off a 6vdc battery.

You do need power. I ran mine from a lightbulb adapter. It is WiFi for the connection to the Internet. If I remember correctly you need to set it up first via a wired connection so you can tell it your WiFi network name and password.

If I understand your question, no.1) This is a dimmer, designed for dimmable devices such as lights. It could very well fry the power supply in your modem.2) If you are trying to power cycle a down modem while you are away, you will have no way to get to your device if your internet connection is down.A solution might involve an intelligent controller such as an ISY994 and an ApplianceLinc. You could have a program that periodically pinged an outside address and turned the ApplianceLinc off and then on if the site is unreachable.

Yes you can use it without Internet but you lose the remote capabilities. It would act as a programmable thermostat.

you need the internet. additionally,i never could get it set up without being able to hard wire it to a router before using it wirelessly. which made it useless for my situation.(no access to router, just a wireless signal.
