More info, this was the reply I got from the manufacturer -----------------------SoF------------------------------------------ Radio Thermostat <radiothermos...@tstatsupport.com> 1:10 PM (3 hours ago) to Info, me Hi,
If you are sure you have a WiFi module in the thermostat Model - RTMV-01 Then check out the following to see and correct the time zone so the thermostat will have the correct time: How to change time zone First go to the web portal via a browser *https://my.radiothermostat.com/rtcoa/login.html <https://my.radiothermostat.com/rtcoa/login.html>* (Note you will need to use the desktop version of the web site) Then log in and go to the person (then select location) select the location you want and click edit Go to the pull down for time zone and select your time zone Then click save -----------------------------------EoF--------------------------------- This is exactly what I have tried to avoid, I never registered the thermostat with their cloud. I have my personal reasons for not wanting my devices on someone's cloud if I can avoid it. in this case that is exactly what I have tried to do. Now meantime, since the thermostat IP is static, I went into the firewall and set up a rule to drop any packets to/from the thermostat. No more time change, and I did that well over and hour ago. I can still control the device on my LAN just dropping whatever is trying to reach the thermostat. This brings up the question, of who/what is it? I never registered the device with their cloud, indeed I bought it because it was one of the thermostats that did not require you to use an outside network to access it, (I am looking at you Honeywell, Nest and all of the rest of the cloud only based devices). Now to see if I can get Wire shark on a part of the network that can see that device. Suspend the rule and try to catch the packet session.
