Hi nancy,
Check the archives for Thermostat and you will find a bunch of posts as
this has been discussed on Viphone quite a lot in the last year or so.
I use several thermostats both in my business and at home from
www.RadioThermostat.com. You can buy them on the website for I think $139,
but others on the list have bought the same thermostat at Home Depot in the
US for $99 and you can buy it as well on Amazon. The app to control the
Radio Thermostat unit is pretty much fully accessible.
Pablo I think bought a Honeywell thermostat with similar functionality but
had problems connecting it I think because Honeywell for some reason wasn't
supporting ioOS 6. Another new thermostat was also discussed maybe a month
or 2 ago, but nobody knows if it's accessible and in my opinion why take a
chance if the Radio Thermostat is being used by several people who all like
it.
Keep in mind that such a thermostat may only cost $100 or $140, but you
would have to get a professional installer in to install it for you. Most of
these thermostats require a 24 Volt line to power the WiFi radio and this
may not be there. Typically a cable with 3 wires is needed for most other
thermostats and the Radio Thermostat requires a 4-wire cable and of course
running a new cable may be very difficult depending on your house. You can
use an external AC adapter with the Radio Thermostat which means as long as
you have an outlet nearby it could be plugged in, but you then have a cable
dangling down the wall from the thermostat to the outlet.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hello,
Does anyone use any of these kinds of apps? Does anyone know if they are
accessible with voiceover?
Thank you
