Hi Cheryl, I assume you know this, but just in case you misunderstood, I believe the code mentioned was just the pairing code and that should be a one-time operation unless you completely reset your phone of course or get a new one in which case you have to pair it again. I have the Radio Thermostat WiFi capable thermostats and they also display a pairing code on the screen where you need sighted help although I did once manage to get the correct code by taking a picture and sending it to VisWiz. I find that if I can use a product and an app really well and the only issue is that I need somebody to glance at the device for 3 seconds to tell me a 4-digit code then that is quite acceptable. This code will always be required so the device pairs securely with your phone and for some devices having it display on the device may simply be the only option.
