Am I correct in saying that the Digital Thermostat is hardwired and in order to make it wireless you have to buy the Portable Comfort Control?

I honestly have no idea... ours is still in the box. I actually thought this was something else (just hook up new thermostat on the wall and put the portable one in another room-it's not) and we may end up returning or getting a professional to install it.

No there are two different ones. This has no wires. But u need the wireless box that goes with it for it to work. They have a model that is almost like this one that comes with wires

The thermostat itself is wireless. The main hub is hardwired to the furnace. The thermostat receives a wireless signal from the main hub. You can install the thermostat wherever you prefer. It is not hardwired to anything, not even power, as it requires batteries. Once you hardwire the main hub to the furnace, you simply pair the thermostat to the hub. The black internet router, allows you to acces the thermostat via your smart phone and or internet.

One of the other answers is perfect. This unit has a black box that needs to be wired into your heating/ac unit. That then transmits wirelessly to the thermostat.

The thermostat is wireless but attached to the wall. You can place it wherever you want without running wires. The portable control allows you to choose to read the temp from wherever you put it

The thermostat is wireless and can be placed anywhere. It communicates wirelessly with the EIM which is hardwired to your furnace. The redlink gateway allows you to control the thermostat remotely from a phone app or computer with Internet access.

Although it's wireless, it's designed to be mounted on a wall. The portable one is meant to sit bedside. I have both, but use the portable one more to read the temperature than to control it. It takes a good few minutes for it to get the temperature reading right, so it's not all that great from a practical standpoint.

No, you have to wire the EIM and connect the RedLink to your router, but the thermostat is wireless and can be placed anywhere.

To the best of my knowledge, no. This is a consumer, household thermostat with Wi-Fi capability. No commercial adjuncts.

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 it's wired, I know a couple friends that have wireless and they run into the system not transmitting at times, the instructions a very bad, I called the help phone twice and got 2 different explanations on the proper way to wire it, they give you more components then you need and vague instructions that don't use all components, I ended up, after looking at the instructions (actually no instructions just a diagram), and using some common sense and it works

As daniel correctly noted it is a wired system not wireless. Mine is still working great after 6 months

This is not a portable electric heater, it is designed to be permanently installed and comes with no wires. I bought the thermostat they recommend and installed it. You could wire a chord to it and plug it into a wall outlet if you buy the 120 Volt model. Be careful some require 240 volt power, just make sure you buy the right one.

This is only a hard wire hookup.most wireless systems controllers are battery operated. All you need is power to the fan

The Mini Controller needs to be plugged into an AC outlet. The controller used the wiring of the building to distribute its signal to its components, such as; lamp switches, light controls, and such. In other words its not wireless.

It is not wireless, therefore you need to run an 18-2 thermostat wire from it to the IAQ board.

internet is required ONLY IF you want to use the wifi capabilities of the thermostat.Functionally everything can be done manually from the unit without wifi.With wifi though, you significantly enhance the convenience capabilities.

In my house each floor/zone has a wireless thermostate (3 total), an RF wireless receiver on zone control and this remote thermostat to control all zones. To control the floor I am on I can either walk to wireless thermostat screwed into the wall and adjust it or use the wireless portable to control any zone. I installed 2 years ago to eliminate walking up and down stairs to adjust zones.

It's still wired. There's no actual remote monitor either. The next model up that has sound and movement, that's the one I returned this for and bought, is wired from the pad to the transmitter and then the receiver (which is the monitor) is indeed wireless and also monitors temperature of the room. The transmitter that's wired to the pad also doubles as a nightlight if you want (can be switched off and on). This movement only model in question, I would personally only recommend if you want something for traveling with the baby.

If you use wifi and want to control it from you iPhone or Andriod phone you need a power source.Just buy a transformer from the maker of this thermostat. It cost 14 USD. Just go to http://store.radiothermostat.com/ and here you find the transformer.

The battery in the thermostat is for the internal clock and settings memory. To use the WiFi you must power it externally. You can download the users manual from Honeywell to see the specifics.

No, but you can use honeywell Prestige IAQ thermostat, which communicates wirelessly (redlink) with a control box you can mount next to the heater

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

It is not wireless. It is not powerd.it just connects like a speaker to the system.
