Re: Thermostat with accessible iPhone App
Hi, there’s also a thermostat that can be interacted with via an app through A.D.T’s pulse service which automates many things around the home including their security services, thermostats and lighting.

Re: Thermostat with accessible iPhone App
Hi, I don’t work for the company and thus would suggest consulting a salesperson for more. It might be reasonable to expect that you’d have to have some level of security service in order to establish a pulse account but you know what they say about assuming. It might be best to inquire directly of them. I already did have security services wit them so turning my account into a pulse one wasn’t a difficult choice for me. At that time no one with whom I spoke knew if the app would work with voice over. I took a chance and am glad to report that it works very well indeed.

RE: Thermostat with accessible iPhone App
Hi Paul, I don't know anything about this Puls system, but why bother with something which may require an account and possibly even one that has a monthly cost attached to it if you can buy a thermostat for $99, get it installed and then download a free app which is fully accessible to control it. To me it doesn't get much better than that and both Brett and myself are running these with no issues.

RE: Thermostat with accessible iPhone App
So then who cares, if Nest is not accessible and if the devs are not interested just go with the Radio Thermostat setup, there are also other options out there, but I have 3 of them and are very happy with both the thermostats and the app and how everything works very well together. I also like the fact that the Radio Thermostat app has been updated quite often both to improve stability and to add new features like the ability to set up a schedule right from the app which was added in the last release.

I can't remember who it was though. But when I first heard about the NEST I downloaded their App and created an account on their Web site. I then contacted them about the inaccessibility of their app. The response I got back was disheartening. They had no interest in my request and have no intention of pursuing the issue. If anyone is interested I can dig up their response, but after hearing that crap from them I am not interested in doing business with them.

I'm not sure how accessible it is but it sounded very cool and it supposedly had a nice design.

RE: Thermostat with accessible iPhone App
Hello Sachin, Brett purchased the same units I have had for about a year or so, I have 1 at my house and 2 at my business and as Brett mentioned, the app is very accessible and the most recent update now includes a scheduler. Before you could set a schedule, but it had to be done on the website which, at least the last time I tried it, was not very Jaws friendly. I posted about the Radio Thermostat a couple of times, so maybe take a look at the archives, I am in Canada and the only place I found them was on Amazon. Do keep in mind that these have to be installed by a professional, because of the WiFi module the thermostat requires a 24 Volt line in addition to the normal I think it is 3 leads that go to your furnace; most furnaces do have a terminal for the 24 Volt line, but a normal thermostat does not require that much power.
