I see users can use an iPhone app to operate their thermostat....would an iPad app work the same way? Thanks.

Yes, the ipad app works the same just larger on the screen. I wish they would add reporting to the app so we could see usage information like the Nest does.
617138
Yes, it will. Just keep in mind that the WIFI transmitter in the thermostat is weak, so your router or access point must be close. I had to add a wireless access point in the same room. I keep an eye on the temperature and fan from anywhere.

Btw, there's also an ANDROID app (same as IOS) so you could also use an android phone or android tablet!

Yes, we use an iPad app to control our thermostats. Works great. Quicker than the web site. We have no iPhones.

Yes the ipad would work the same way. I recently sent my Honeywell Thermostat back to Honeywell because of a problem and haven't hear back from them in a little over a month. Wish me luck, but when it was working, it was amazing.

I used mine exactly how you want to use yours. They give you a test period of time to use the weather part of the software, but you will not have to use it. I put mine in approximately 3 months ago and for the most part control my system totally via the IPhone/IPad ap. I have been looking for something like this for a couple of years and finally stumbled on this. I will never go back to the old control systems.

There are two parts I think to your question. The Thermostat connects to the Wi-Fi very easily. Since I've bought it there has been no trouble. It just works. The second portion is the website that you log into. It belongs to Honeywell and it has the GUI that talks to the thermostat. You don't connect directly to the thermostat. I use it to notify of major temperature change via email to my phone. That works fine. So as of yet it's not given me any problem and I would buy it again.

I know there is a way. The IT guy at my clinic set up my bosses iPad and iPhone to do this task. However, since I did not have my iPad had to perform this task, I do not know the particulars.

I do not know the answer to that, it is Red Link compatible which I have set up so I can control thermostat thru iPhone app.

Google Play has the app, so I would say, yeah. I used the iPad version - wasn't very reliable, kept losing the wifi between the 2 devices so I stopped using it.

Yes, this should work just fine. Pricier model are just prettier and have more sophisticated programming and/or connecting to your smart phone abilities. As far as programming goes, this one is NOT a 1-week thermostat. You can only create one daily program. You set 4 points in a 24 hours span (i.e. 1-day) and then this program is repeated day after day. If you don't need programming, there is a cheaper version where you just set the temperature. Or there are pricier ones where you can create separate programs for work days and weekends ( 5/2 programming ) or 7 distinct programs for each day of the week (7-day thermostat).

As others have stated, the thermostat DOES indeed have auto-change over. It's not enabled by default. You have to go to the thermostat itself, select "Preferences" > "Advanced Preferences" and you will see it in there. Once I did that, I now have Auto change over for Heat/Cool, on both the thermostat and the App.

Remote access is either by website from a PC or by an app. I use my laptop most of the time and it is very easy to set a program and make changes. For mobile, I use the ipad/iphone app. The app is mostly useful just for changing the temp, for example, when you find yourself going home several hours early and you want to change the set point.

No. The device itself acts as a hotspot to which you can connect from your smartphone or iPad. There are a variety of free or low cost apps that walk you through the process. I found the capabilities to be pretty impressive. It allows you to read the computer codes and reset the computer, but it also allows you to monitor the output from any sensor that the computer is monitoring. Some of the apps allow you to create a virtual 'dashboard' showing instantaneous gas mileage, fuel level, but also very esoteric things. Warning: The device does use battery power so don't leave it plugged into your car on a cold night or you could wake up to a dead battery. Hope this helps.

No, the app just allows you to set temperature, schedules and system fan on and off. The thermostat is just a regular digital thermostat with built in WiFi so it has no capabilities beyond that. But it works great for what it needs to do.

No, actually ipads don't have any infrared sensor. So, this apple remote will not work in iPads and iPhones. Maybe, Apple would release it in a future versions. But I am not sure.

For earlier versions of this thermostat the answer is definitely NO, as the thermostat is actually controlled from Honeywell's Momma Server, which is only accessible from the Internet. Your computer or IPhone actually communicates with the Honeywell server, which then communicates to the thermostat, all via the internet. A possible exception to this answer is with the very latest versions of this thermostat, which include an IPhone application. Whether that new application allows the IPhone to communicate directly with the thermostat without an Internet connection, I don't know, but I doubt it changes the control situation.

Nope, but with the mobile app you can check the temperature in your home when needed, and adjust the temperature when/if you want too.

No, its only able to be controlled through the app as far as I have been able to do with it. You would be more interested in the Arduino to do what you want.

I got the app from the itunes store. I think it is alled ES Remote or something like that and it's free. I have a dedicated I-Pad Mini Retina that I use to control my entire system and it is like having a Control 4 controler pad that would cost over $1000 and does most of what I need.

You probably need something a bit more sophisticated than this. It works with Bluetooth so my iPhone and iPad see it easily in the next room, but it must be within range i.e. in my apartment. I currently have it in a terrarium in which I am overwintering some delicate plants. I also used it to fine tune the thermostats for the heating in my apartment this winter as well as to double check the function of the heater in an aquarium And it was great for that. If you have a landline phone or wifi in your cabin there are weather stations you could get that could alert you. I don't think this is the right solution for your needs.
