The radio is a separate module you can plug two of them in, a zigbee module and a WiFi module, there are some other ones also. I have the Wifi module. I will see which one of those it is. I will see how to remove the case from the thermostat board and see what is in there beside the screen. I am going to start a capture again and see what the port is, I thought I had saved the previous capture file but when I went to open it, could not find it. It is either checking different addresses until it finds some thing alive or one of those addresses is being activated. If I block the address in the router the time stays what I have set it to.
