Hi Keith,
The thermostat works just like a normal digital thermostat if there is no WiFi, but then you just don't have any way to control it remotely. Somebody could still set it for a low temperature when away for a longer time to keep anything from freezing or, for that matter, could have it follow whichever schedule, it's sort of like turning off WiFi on an iPod, you can still listen to music and audio books but you just don't have access to the features which require WiFi. When I went to Maui for holidays in March I thought I might as well turn off everything including my router and ASDL modem and I never thought about my thermostat and that of course I had no way to control it. I had a tile layer finish a bathroom renovation after I left and when I came back almost 3 weeks later my house had been quite a bit warmer all that time than it had to be and I could have turned the heat way down had I not turned off my modem and router. Oh well, I won't forget about this next time.

Here in the northern US, folks may winter in the southern US for 3 to 5 months, and they often temporarily discontinue their cable / broadband. Does the thermostat still function if WiFi is stopped? Or, if folks move from their home before it is sold, do they need to continue WiFi service to keep a functioning thermostat? _____ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2012 10:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Radio Thermostat with accessible iPhone App Paul, Shane and Hope, Brett posted this in his message and you really do get the most information by reading up about the details on the website. Here it is again: http://www.RadioThermostat.com You can buy the thermostat right on the website by going to the "Buy Now" link. The price is $139, Brett said in his post he bougtht his from Home Depot for $99 and as I mentioned, you can also find this on Amazon: Amazon.com: Homewerks Radio Thermostat CT-30-H-K2 Wireless Thermostat with Wi-Fi Module, Dual Wireless Inputs and Touch Screen http://www.amazon.com/Homewerks-Thermostat-CT-30-H-K2-Wireless-Module/dp/B00 4YZFU1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 <http://www.amazon.com/Homewerks-Thermostat-CT-30-H-K2-Wireless-Module/dp/B0 04YZFU1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343962818&sr=8-1&keywords=ct30+thermostat> &qid=1343962818&sr=8-1&keywords=ct30+thermostat If the link wraps and doesn't work, just search on Amazon for "CT30 WiFi Thermostat" and you'll find it. The price on Amazon varies, when I just checked it was available for $125 with free shipping. And yes, the app is accessible and in the most recent update the ability to set up schedules right from the app was added.
