If you have configured your Venstar Skyport account correctly and you are able to control the thermostat using your Venstar smartphone app when you are at home, then you should be able to do so from anywhere that your smartphone has access to WiFi. Obviously, your Internet connection at home will need to be working when you are away from home.

The Venstar app is minimal. Temp set, schedule, fan and shows alerts. To be able to access all of the settings, you need to go through the Skyport link on their website. I use their app and Skyport link on their website with my Asus table and either way works fine. I have been monitoring my home in Michigan from Texas for the past 2 month and have had no issues. I installed the stat myself and set it up. I thought it to be very user friendly. Their support was pretty good. 3 out of 5. One thing though, I couldn't fine a phone number to call had to do all support via email.

I'm pretty sure apps are universal...if you can download it then you can use it. Just like you can access any URL across the globe.

Yes you can, I just used it this week in The Netherlands. You just need to buy an adaptor, it costs like 2-3 dollars at airports and/or home centers.

Yes. It is a fully functional thermostat even if wifi is not available or off in your home.

You will also need the Insteon Hub to manage the APP and make all your settings through. Its available here on Amazon too.

Yes. You can set your zone manually, according to the various methodologies for setting the zones with the Mio Go app.Also, if you use a third part app, like RunMeter, you can customize your zones there as well.

Yes you can. With the Wemo App in Android or Apple iOS. I have my switches set for various times during the week to turn on and off.

Yes, when you log into your account the website will display the local outdoor temperature (based on your zip code) and the indoor temperature as read by the thermostat.

You can access your Vera over the Web from any device. I have the app on my phone and pad and can control my house from Mexico. A little tricky setting it up but works a charm once setup

not sure why this thread looks like it is complicated when it is very simple, I click login on my phone, select the system tab at the bottom and the options are HEAT / COOL / AUTO / OFF the auto setting allows you to select the AC or heat settings and if you change either then it is smart enough to keep at least a 3 degree buffer so they do not step on each other. Its extremely simple maybe others do not have it connected to wifi but i use my phone when i am 10 steps away! it is so simple to login then change the number using arrows... 2 clicks and done.

Yes. The app is smart enough to know when to connect either directly to your thermostat while it's running on the same LAN or via Internet if your iPad/Android is not on the same network.

You can change the temp and mode. However, you can not program the daily presets without using a web browser. With that said, I have used Chrome, Firefox, and IE on a PC. I have also used an iPad with safari & chrome and an Android phone with Chrome.

I am not sure the context of this question. You need a internet connection and either a smart phone, or computer/tablet to control your thermostat.You do not need a land line.

If you can you can connect to your thermostat on your phone you can program it. It's a thing of beauty. I keep this thermostat set at 50 when I'm not there. 150 miles away from it I program it to 68 and by the time I get there the place is warm. Must be a smart phone. Hope this helps.

Yes. Honeywell has a web site that allows you to customize the alerts you want sent and the frequency you want them sent to you. For example, they allow you to send a message if there is wifi communication lost, if the temp hits over or under a certain degree (that you set), etc... I found it very easy to use. I initially bought this unit for a summer home to moinitor in the winter but liked it so much a bought another for my full time home.

When installing you need access to the router settings.if you will be using you personal hotspot you can adjust the settings I connected using an IP camera app to vie from Dubai using the URL I setup

Hi Susan, yes you can set from your smart phone. There is a Honeywell app and you'll have to set up an account with Honeywell to use it. Typical stuff, name, model #, ect. The app works fine. Keep in mind you will need to attach the thermostat to your wifi network. Hope that helps.

I would think so. I can do it from my android device.I have set schedule and am able to override settings at will without messing up schedule. Make adjustments and remember to send to thermostat. App has a pop up reminder to reminder you. Love this thermostat!
