I think the landlord doesn’t know what he is
talking about. An analogue thermostat has 3
wires and the same three wires connect to
regular digital/programmable thermostats. The
talking thermostats which are not Wi-Fi
connected are simply regular
digital/programmable thermostats except that
they have speech output and they should work anywhere an analogue one works.
Wi-Fi connected thermostats do generally
require a fourth wire which provides power to
the thermostat, the Wi-Fi radio needs to be
powered and I can see where this could be an
issue in a building where this fourth wire is not present.

Subject: RE: Talking thermostat, analog or digital?
There are no analog thermostats that I know of
that talk. It requires digital output to a
speech chip to provide the spoken information.
I’m surprised your place cannot take anything but analog.
Honeywell, I believe it is, makes a very good
tactile thermostat, which we currently
have. It is a simple dial with good marks that
are easy to feel and my wife just put a bump
dot at 70 on the moving part and the stationary
part so if I line them up it is set to 70 and I
can judge moving it up or down from there if needed.
We also have Air conditioning, so the same
bumps work for that in the hot weather.
The thermostat has a simple, three position
switch with off in the middle, cool in the down
position and heat in the up position.
I’ll check and see if I can get the model number if you are interested.
I’d have the landlord talk to the folks at
Talking Thermostats about the set up for the
VIP 3000 to make sure it wouldn’t work.
We are going to buy that one when we get our
furnace service scheduled in the next month or so.
Later,
Richard

This is digital... I actually need analog.
Thanks for the link though.

The VIP 3000 looks really good, has a 5 year
warrantee and everything talks, so using the iPhone is not necessary.

Hi all.
My mom wants to buy me a talking thermostat or one that works with my
phone but my landlord said that our heating system seems to not work
with digital thermostats. Do any of you know of one that is analog
but will still work with the home kit in IOS 10?
Thanks.
Jen
