I have a cabin 2 1/2 hours away from my house. Would this device be able to send a message if the heat turned off there?

You probably need something a bit more sophisticated than this. It works with Bluetooth so my iPhone and iPad see it easily in the next room, but it must be within range i.e. in my apartment. I currently have it in a terrarium in which I am overwintering some delicate plants. I also used it to fine tune the thermostats for the heating in my apartment this winter as well as to double check the function of the heater in an aquarium And it was great for that. If you have a landline phone or wifi in your cabin there are weather stations you could get that could alert you. I don't think this is the right solution for your needs.

The device connects to your iPhone by bluetooth, which has very limited distance. Your cabin is too far away to send a bluetooth message to your iPhone. If you had a computer running at your cabin, it might be able to monitor this temperature device, but you would probably have to have special software to send an alert over the internet to your home computer or your phone. Keep in mind that this device only sends a temperature reading. I don't believe the software app it uses sends out alerts. It would need software or a special app to send out an alert signal or message.

No. The device uses Bluetooth technology that is relatively short-range (150 feet?). Beyond that, it is just a thermometer. All it does is report the temperature.
1437736
No it doesn't connect to wifi. It is just a bluetooth device with limited range. Your best bet would be to get a wifi thermostat and a wifi connection at your cabin.
1437737
No. This device is Bluetooth which has a range of maybe 30 to 50 feet normally.

Should work as long as the device not being used is completely powered off.

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

Should work well. Only goes out about 15 to 20 feet from sensor to I-phone. Mine is off about 3 degrees F to the high side. It takes about 5 seconds to aquire the sensor. A reliable system.

I don't think so. The software locates it via wifi so you would need to be within range. There might be another way but someone else would have to explain. And. If the battery is dead then it wouldn't be chirping anyway.

It cannot be used alone. It is not wireless.It does not send alerts.It is really to be used to move the temperature sensor of a professional Honeywell Thermostat to another location without moving the control panel. You can also use several of them to "average" the temperature reading in several locations.

No. The only time there is a status available is when the temperature exceeds the high or low temperature setting. If you did call the unit when no alert has been recorded, there would be nothing there for you to hear.

Not in my opinion. But there are enough advanced features and customisability for the techie user. To create a scene like that is as simple as a few clicks of a button. You would set the door sensor as a trigger to control when the AC shuts off. I use a Nest thermostat as a trigger to arm the house when Nest goes into away mode, then it runs on a schedule to trigger away mode during the weekdays when the house is empty for sure.

Yes. It will send alerts to one or more configurable email addresses if the temperature falls above or below configurable temperatures over a configurable amount of time. I have mine set to alert if the temperature is above 90 deg F for more than 15 minutes or below 40 deg F for more than an hour. The alerts are not sent from the device itself, they are sent from the My Total Connect Comfort website. Alerts can also be sent if communication is lost between the thermostat and the website or if a change fails to be sent.

Yes and no. It works by sensing a temperature difference, e.g. body heat or the warmth of a car engine going by. If there is no discernible difference it does not signal an alert. We couldn't figure out why it did not detect our son's leaving until we realized that his car engine had not yet warmed up when he drove past the sensor but did work when he returned. Maybe we're wrong about this but it's what we deduced. It has never failed to detect a person though.

If you can you can connect to your thermostat on your phone you can program it. It's a thing of beauty. I keep this thermostat set at 50 when I'm not there. 150 miles away from it I program it to 68 and by the time I get there the place is warm. Must be a smart phone. Hope this helps.

Hi. I hesitate to answer this because I am not sure of the exact range of these devices. However, I can tell you that it is being used for communication purposes from the "main house" to what most people would consider an In-laws quarters way on the other side. For the price and the quality of the device, the worst thing that could happen is that you would have to send it back. Probably worth the try! Hope this helps.

Any time the server loses contact with thermostat, for any reason, you get an email notification. You also are notified when the connection is restored.

It should not be a problem. The alarm only makes outgoing calls and only if the sensor is triggered by a power outage or a cold temperature. It would be very unlikely an incoming call that your answering machine would pick up would occur at the same time that the alarm would be making an outgoing call. If you get a call from the alarm it will ask you to press a key to acknowledge the alert and avoid repeated calls about the alert.

For earlier versions of this thermostat the answer is definitely NO, as the thermostat is actually controlled from Honeywell's Momma Server, which is only accessible from the Internet. Your computer or IPhone actually communicates with the Honeywell server, which then communicates to the thermostat, all via the internet. A possible exception to this answer is with the very latest versions of this thermostat, which include an IPhone application. Whether that new application allows the IPhone to communicate directly with the thermostat without an Internet connection, I don't know, but I doubt it changes the control situation.

I couldnt tell you for sure, as it is installed at our cabin 2 hours away...sorry I couldnt be of more help
