Had this thermo for several years now. Never had a problem with it. Hard to program? It's one of the easiest... as you can simply use any web browser to access the device (via WiFi) and program it. It's as easy as entering the time and temp for each day.
They sub'ed out the phone app to another company and it's improved TREMENDOUSLY over the part year or so. The latest update is very nice. They added slide rules to each day for programming. Just pick a temp and slide the bar up or down to change the time. Using the app is what makes this thermo worth every penny. Last edited by tcope; 03-10-2013 at 10:17 AM.. |

Service required?
In other words, can I use the phone app while in my house without Internet access, using only local wireless access point? |

As long as your phone has a data connection of any kind, you can access the thermo. The thermo connects via WiFi to your wireless router. It then connects to your account on RadioThermostat's server. You then only need to be able to myradiothermostat.com in order to access the thermo. You can do this via the app and any data connection or via any web browser. I use the web browser to program the thermo as it was much easier to do this then to hit a million buttons in a certain order as most thermo's require. But to be honest, the new features on the app make it very easy as well. |

I bought this unit a year ago for $100 for our beach house. I can raise the temp. 2 hours before we get there and it's perfect when we arrive. Reverse in summer. Pretty easy to install and it works flawlessly with IPhones,iPads,Android,PCs. Best $100 I spent in a long time. At $65 it's a no brainer. They must be coming out with a newer model.
