I wonder if it being hooked up to the HVAC lines is adding a new layer that WiFi doesn't play well with. I'm not sure, but I wonder considering the "age difference" between the two technologies.. Thanks for your feedback! Very interesting, good points also. I wonder if it being hooked up to the HVAC lines is adding a new layer that WiFi doesn’t play well with.

The promise is great. The implementation is terrible. Flaky, fragile, easy to fry when installing, and after installing, the damn thing often goes offline, especially because much of the way the various android/iphone/web apps work is NOT by communicating with the thermostat directly, but by doing so via their lousy, flaky, unstable servers. And even when those are up, the thermostat itself will fall offline demanding a reset. If you mention this in the forum in anything but a oh gosh your software is soooo wonderful I do appreciate its single sigma reliability, then they drop your message on the floor. So.... sad. But it sucks. Sadly, regretfully, I have one of these thermostats.
