The description says "Includes 1 WiFi Power Module". Does this mean that I will not need to buy a third party c-wire transformer?

It is all self contained. If you have power to your current thermostat, you just hook it up and it runs. Nothing extra to buy. The iphone app works. We have one for upstairs and one downstairs and haven't had any issues.

That description means the "USNAP" transceiver; it is a radio module, Wifi protocols, that is snapped into the thermostat and communicates to the router. This has nothing to do with the C-Wire; this is ONLY the radio (wifi) communication with your router. The C-wire is 24V that you need to power the thermostat. This can come directly via this C wire from your furnace (my furnace had a "live" 24V C terminal) or a separate transformer. In my case, the stat was on the first floor, the furnace right below; I pulled new 6-conductor wire using the old 4-conductor as a "fishing line", and this allowed me to use the furnace's built in voltage and no additional transformer was necessary. If you can't do that, and you only have 4 wires, and pulling new wire isn't possible, then you will need a separate transformer for power to this unit. The reason for this is simple: a normal thermostat with 4 or 5 wires does not need power; these lines are switch lines. The only power your stat needs is from batteries. Wifi, however, is a radio transmitter that need constant power, more than batteries can supply.

Yes, but there's a way to avoid this extra cost if you have a gas/oil/propane furnace by switching the C wire for the G wire, both at the thermostat and the HVAC. The only drawback is that you won't be able to turn on/off the fan on demand, but the HVAC controls this automatically and I really don't change the fan settings anyway. Here's the "secret" tutorial to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BftoUCnKYls

It does not come with a C-wire transformer. If you are sure you don't have power coming from you AC (mine did), then you will need a transformer. The wifi module slides into the back of the unit, and is why they say it "includes 1 ..."

This transformer is for grounded systems. If yours only has two wires, you don't have a grounded system. You can still use it, just ignore the middle terminal.

You get a power cord, the Ethernet patch cords you will have to buy separately.

It comes with a simple proprietary PoE injector which you must use. It can't be powered by standard 802.3af/802.3at PoE switches or injectors, nor does it have a power input jack directly on the device.This product's simple proprietary PoE implementation is limited in range: It doesn't support full 100 m (300 ft) Ethernet twisted pair cable runs, after about 25 m the voltage drop is enough to cause random reboots when using maximum transmission power. This fact isn't mentioned in the manual.

Must be wired only for power. This is a simple set-up. I'm very pleased with it.

A power adapter is only required on the unit you plug into your router/switch. The other ones get their power from the DirecTV receiver they are plugged into via coax. The ac adapter is not overly bulky but you should be able to match input/output voltages and use a compatible one you buy elsewhere but like I said, the included one is small enough and you'd be hard pressed to find anything smaller. I'm not home at the moment otherwise I'd list the voltage. If you are using the DECA to provide network connectivity to a device other than a DirecTV receiver then each adapter will need power since it won't be plugged into the receiver via coax.

No, you don't need the Network Module that you mentioned. I bought the Network Adaptor Starter Kit first, then added two more so that I have one in each bedroom and one in the living room. They work great!

The device came with a CAT5 cable and power cable. I did not need anything else.

Hello Betty,The modem comes with the power cable and transformer, but to be honest with you I don't recall is if came with any other cables..if anything it might have come with an ethernet cable but I don't recall 100% I hope that helpplease let me now if you have another questionregardssam

you need to have a "c" wire (24V power from the transformer) to power the wireless network (redlink) - you can't connect to any remote accessories without that.

Its listed in the sales info. IIRC I got a ethernet cable and a power cable. Some brochures.

Correct, just an AP. You just plug it into the power injector and from the power injector to your router. Power injector is included.

This unit needs power. It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet). Either way there will be at least one cable running to it. It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.
1808070
Yes, you are going to have to use either POE adapter or purchase a separate power cord

It comes with a 3 amp power supply. Should be adequate for one wireless device.

Thank you for such a quick reply! I currently have a Cyberpower 450va and the computer, monitor, and WiFi router are plugged into the battery backup section. It works fine. I recently had FIOS installed, and got the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) without the battery backup. I was thinking of buying the larger CyberPower 850 to be sure it could handle everything (for a couple of minutes until our generator starts), especially since I have no clue how many watts the ONT uses. Thanks again for your response.

A Wifi module is attached and it is optional for you to attach it or not. I did attach it to the board and it is workable.
