Does your smarphone connect directly to this device? Or does it go through some gateway or service in the middle (possible reliability issue)?

It had to go through a web portal, which (at the time I used it) had a horrible UI. I switched to a Nest, which I'd highly recommend instead.

Everything goes through their servers. They like to say that, for security reasons, their servers are the only thing the thermostat will communicate with. I would say there is typically a few- second delay for commands to be related. After a certain period of time of lost contac, the thermostat automatically reverts to its last "occupied" program if it is not on hold.

Love this product. It does go through my smartphone. The only problem we had with it was our electrical service goes out quite often and it would not reboot everytime. So we plugged it into a timer and it goes off once a day for 15 minutes and reboots. This way when we lose power it will automatically come back up. Works perfectly. Great reporting functions as well.

I have been using their ios app since 2010 and it has been working flawlessly. Smartphone does not connect to device. With bayweb you have an account on bayweb site. The app on your smartphone uses the same account. So you can manage your temp from smartphone or website. They host the account on their website.

Bayweb units rely heavily on the Bayweb servers however over 4 years they have been remarkably reliable. They had one 36 hour glitch when they converted to the new web portal. I live in a very cold climate and I added a third, this year to allow monitoring of a separate building. Their person to person support is unequaled. Each person sounds like they could be the CEO. Email support, not so much especially on weekends. You will never regret installing these. I will add more later.

I have had no problems with it. I had an apple i4s for first few weeks I had speaker and had no connection issues, now I have a Galaxy note 4 and it connected immediately. I can't vouch for signal range, as I have only had phone maybe 10 feet from speaker.

I was able to finally get mine to connect to my cellular network. I reached out to the manufacturer and they were able to help me. I do remember that I had some issues at first with the port forwarding though.

We don't have that issue. I'm running a FreePBX server and once I got the phones setup right they've worked flawlessly.

I usually use bluetooth but have used it as handheld as well as speakerphone without any problems that I know of.

My phone was AT&T; specific. Just added the SM card and it worked without any additional provisioning.

I just purchased this phone and it is doing the same thing. It worked for 5 minutes after we charged and then it went into the System is Starting mode and will not connect to Skype. If we reset the batteries, it will connect to Skype, then disconnect after 5 minutes. We have the latest firmware version and can't figure out what the problem is. I've emailed Philips, but if we cannot figure out the problem, we'll have to send it back. I really hope it doesn't come to that because I really want it to work!

I figured out how to fix the problem here. We had the base station plugged into a switch off the router so I contacted Philips support and they suggested unplugging everything and then trying to connect to our modem directly. Well, our modem is not a long term solution so we compromised and tried plugging the base station directly into our router. Problem solved! We've now been online with the phone for three days and it works great! Hope this helps!

The app says it's connecting via Bluetooth LE. Should work fine. I use mapmyride with no problems.

Spencer, did anyone answer your question? 1) I connected the the Dlink with my main phone (the one i use the most). I tested it, all worked well. An hour or so later, a call came in. When I picked up another phone (I have 4 through out the apt), I could not pick up the call; yet the other phone was still ringing! 2) Does my computer have to be on at all times for this Dlink to work? --danae (banging my head against the wall on this one)

I just checked it out and have exactly the same problem. Turned both phone and router off and on, but still doesn't work. Skype on my PC seems to be working all right. What's going on?

Hi Marcin, I am sorry but I don't have a suggestion for you. I have successfully connected to Nokia 920, LG Quantum, Samsung Tablet & Samsung S3. I suggest you contact the mfg'r for help, Tech-Life.

I honestly don't know. I have had little problem connecting to any service. You're going to get those times where you're put in the middle of no where, and have one bar, but I have not lost service completely with this phone.

That was the exact same problem I had with that phone. Sorry, no good answer to help here.

Same here - I guess that is how it works since it is a call center phone. It sucks though and customer service is non existent. The consolation is it is good for outbound calls. You can use a 2 way phone splitter and just use it for calling out.
