Will it do low temp alarms via email? I am looking for email or sms alerts at about 40 degrees. Is that possible?

yes it can but you must add the yearly service from filtrate there is a list of email or text that you could get alerts for you can set the prefrence for all or just a few.

Yes it will if you subscribe to the alert service. I think it's 25 $ per year.

Directly, no; indirectly yes. You'll need to contact the mfg tech support. They mentioned something about an alert service for a fee. The RadStat app allows control such as off/on, temp setting, home/away--normal thermostat actions. I think for the alarm (such as to note whether your heat has failed in the winter) you need to have the stat monitored, and I think some alarm companies do that too. There is chatter on their website forums about alarm.com.

Yes you can turn the thermostat off and back on with your smart phone. It communicates with Honeywell's server and you can set it up to send you text message alerts if your WI FI connection goes down or if the temperature in the house is beyond a limit that you set i.e. you have the thermostat set to heat your house to 75 degrees but the temperature drops to 70 degrees - you get a text to warn you that something is wrong. Best thing since apple pie!

Yes you can set any temperature and I agree with Larry that it is annoying that it starts repeating "it's almost done" when you are five degrees from the set temperature and as far as I know you cannot turn this feature off. You can work around this by setting the temperature five degrees higher than you wish and use the "it's almost done" as the alarm to tell you to turn if off.

really not sure. yes it could do that but i am not sure when the alert would stop. it may have to dry out or otherwise you would continue to have alerts sent to your phone or email

The email function used to work for me, back when the device worked reliably, now it doesn't work at all, much less alert me by email. This thing is junk.

yes! it is a very good device, email, text, temp changes, and when disconnected. i worked not only well but responsively and easily

Not as far as I can tell. There is no place in the local or remote UI that shows this that I can find.There is no explicit notification (configured for email and/or local) for the unit powering up either - if there was you could deduce this.

I have my HooToo Cameras send an email with a set of photos each time the motion sensor alert occurs. If you have your iPhone set to alert you when new emails come in, this will work. If you have some type of notification device (such as an alarm dialer) or other alarm system, it also has "dry" contacts which could be used for setting that alarm as well. After the initial setup, I find these cameras to be very reliable. They will automatically reset after power failures, and if you do not have a fixed IP address, they can be set to email the new IP if it changes, and give you a notice after restarting after a power failure. I can't think of any "additional service" that you would need or want. I have my HooToo Cameras send an email with a set of photos each time the motion sensor alert occurs.

Yes; just don't activate the temperature monitoring function. It is a very nice unit. You have to read the instructions closely when setting the unit up.

Bet you're making yogurt! That's what I want it for, anyway. I had a thermometer almost identical to this one, and while the alarm would go off for the upper temp, it wouldn't go off when it reached the lower temp. Did you ever purchase this, Iris, and does it work for what you (I) want?

Yes. It will send alerts to one or more configurable email addresses if the temperature falls above or below configurable temperatures over a configurable amount of time. I have mine set to alert if the temperature is above 90 deg F for more than 15 minutes or below 40 deg F for more than an hour. The alerts are not sent from the device itself, they are sent from the My Total Connect Comfort website. Alerts can also be sent if communication is lost between the thermostat and the website or if a change fails to be sent.

yes it can alert your phone via email if you want text or wifi access you must have dedicated server. as long as you have it hooked to internet

the manual says it has to be out of range for more than 15 min. to prevent false alarms from opening the door. I pulled the sensor from the frig. and set it on the counter and the alarm sounded in about 5 minuets. I set my alarm a couple of degrees above the highest max temp the frig. reached after testing it for a few weeks. haven't had any alarms.

Turn the temp. of the low alarm down to lower than what the actual low temp. will reach, i.e. 32°F. That should shut it off until such time you need a low alarm.

Yes, The email alerts are quite delayed and I found them to be unusable for actual notification purposes if you wanted to react to the detection.

I have only had mine for about 1 week, but so far no problem with maintaining charge. My house is still very hot, and so I changed the red wire from Rh to Rc. It did help lower the temperature by about 5 degrees, but not even close to my requested temperature of 76. An AC technician (not Nest related company) is coming out today and see if there is a problem with my AC unit.Side note: The iphone app works well but is irritating in that I have to turn the phone sideways to use its features. I like to have my phone orientation locked since I read emails in bed also. The android app does not work at all on my HP Touchpad running ICS.

Minimum temperature for heat? I use this in home office in 1 walled off bay in un-insulated 3 car Garage. Tonight it was 52 degrees F when I turned it on and after about 45 minutes its 64. I don't see why it'd have a minimum but may not want to try below 32? Read the manual? Might be specified... Extended warranties: Dunno....in general I never use them but have recently started for my kids cell phones but nothing else. This might be a good candidate though ...it works great after a few years but if something breaks its probably not repairable...(spare parts from China??? no Maytag repairmen on this thing???)
