Hi Steve,

 

Chucck is correct, the scheduling function is accessible although I find
it's not as intuitive as it could be.

 

As far as connecting the thermostat to the WiFi, this is better done with
sighted help. The process on the phone is accessible, but at one point a
5-digit code is displayed on the thermostat and it has to be entered in the
app. I did once get the code by using Skype and showing it to somebody via
video, but it's definitely easier if somebody is there.

 

We just had an 18-hour power outage and after the power came back the app
told me my thermostat was offline, but it then asked if I wanted to
reconnect it and I double tapped on the OK button. To my surprise no further
action was required and after about a minute or so the thermostat was
reconnected to WiFi and online.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

At one p

Interesting, Chuck.  You're info is contrary to product reviews which
indicate it cannot be programmed via the iPhone.  You can view current
status and change the temperature, but you can't do the daily programming.
My other question would be whether you can connect it to the wifi router
without sighted help.

+1 on the Radio Thermostat. I bought mine from Amazon 13 months ago. 

Here is a link:

&qid=1387128336&sr=8-1&keywords=radio+thermostat

 

I had my neighborhood heating and air conditioning guy install it.

 

I have it set to lower the temperature after 11:00 PM and to raise it at
7:00 AM. With my iPhone on my night stand, I can make any adjustments right
from my bed. :)

Only thing that would make it better would be if it could bring me my
morning coffee. maybe on the next update.

 

The company is very aware of its voice over users and keeps the app simple
and accessible.

 Chuck
