Hi Marianne, The Netatmo Weather Station is the product I have been posting about and it is not a thermostat at all. I believe Netatmo also does make a WiFi enabled thermostat, but it is only available in Europe, actually, I think it's available in France where Netatmo is located and maybe in Germany and some other countries, but not in all European countries. To my knowledge Netatmo is not planning to introduce the thermostat to the North American market where a number of WiFi thermostats already exist.
If you are looking for an accessible thermostat to control your heating/air conditioning via an iOS app you should check out www.RadioThermostat.com. I own 3 of their WiFi thermostats, they work great and I have had them for I think at least 2 or 3 years now and they work flawlessly. The app is accessible and you can buy the thermostat for $139 on the website, but I have seen posts from others who own it and who say that in the States you can often get it for $99 at Home Depot and of course it's also available on Amazon. The Netatmo weather station consists of an indoor and outdoor module which measure temperature, humidity, air pressure and they also keep track of indoor and outdoor minimum and maximum temperatures for the day (from Midnight to Midnight) and the indoor module also measures CO2 level and noise. You can add up to 3 additional indoor modules for $79 each to put in other rooms in your house or the basement if you wish and the newest item which is just now starting to ship is a rain sensor which keeps track of aily rainfall. It is also $79 and the main weather station is $179, that's your primary indoor module which has the WiFi connectivity built-in and the one outdoor module. A wind sensor is coming and while this is not a cheap device, it does work well and Netatmo has done an excellent job to make the readings accessible. As far as I know it is also the only weather station for iOS and you can also access the information by logging into your account on the Netatmo website. However, it's much easier and more accessible via the app. Best regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marianne Denning Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 7:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Netatmo update fixes minimum/maximum outdoor temperature issue and supports rain gauge I am considering getting netatmo. Is all of it accessible with voiceover? What do you find most helpful to you? I was checking out their website and really getting excited about it. Can you run your thermostat with your IPhone?
