will ecobee work when there is only a hot spot for internet?

As long as there is an accessible internet wifi connection, it should work. I would not recommend connecting the thermostat itself to an unprotected public wifi hotspot for security reasons but it should still work.

Yes, you will need to link it with the thermostat to allow it to communicate.

No, you don't need to keep your pc on just your router. Should work anywhere---if you can get in due to heavy access.

. . . . and Netgear will service the unit by internet connection if that is not the case.

It can serve as a wifi hot spot. Any device with wireless apater or wifi capability should be able to connect to this device.

Per the product's installation instructions it is for indoor use only.https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/200698694/Ecolink-PIRZWAVE2-ECO_manual_rev1.pdf

It can be if you add a controller or controller software that can use the internet. I currently control my GE Z-wave devices by using HomeSeer HS2 software running on a PC. I use my iPhone to turn lights and my home security system on or off.

Absolutely. I've accessed my thermostat from Europe (the thermostat's in the high country of Arizona). As long as the internet is up and the thermostat is connected, you're all set.

You will need a Wi-Fi internet connection to use it as a remotely operated thermostat.

Well, not really. The sensor must connect to the hub over a short-distance wireless link. The hub then handles the tasks of alerting or controlling whatever the user has programmed. The hub must be connected to the internet for any information to leave the premises.

From the interface to the thermostat, yes. If you have an existing thermostat with four wires, you should be fine. It can even act as your central humidistat with only four wires. Having the interface box probably simplifies things in many cases--especially in complex systems. I recommend drawing a simple schematic of your installation before you begin. I called Ecobee's support before buying. They were helpful.

If I understand your question, no.1) This is a dimmer, designed for dimmable devices such as lights. It could very well fry the power supply in your modem.2) If you are trying to power cycle a down modem while you are away, you will have no way to get to your device if your internet connection is down.A solution might involve an intelligent controller such as an ISY994 and an ApplianceLinc. You could have a program that periodically pinged an outside address and turned the ApplianceLinc off and then on if the site is unreachable.

This works on the electric circuit of the household plugs. If the apartment across driveway is in different circuit, than where modem and router is, it may not work

You can use it there. My system is installed in a unheated area and works GREAT!

It works as a hot spot for any device with Wifi capability. But you'll need to have Clearwire in your area.

Yes, as long as you have a certified z-wave gateway such as a Raspberry Pi B+. My company utilizes all z-wave products for all of our clients that have second and third homes that want this extra security with HVAC, Water, Electric, Garage Doors, Fireplaces, Lighting and so on.

You should contact Ubiquiti directly. They're very helpful. Also, try their simulation to see if it will work for your environment.
