Description:

Control the temperature from anywhere in the house! INSTEON Remote Control Thermostat allows you to recall stored set point/mode settings from any INSTEON-compatible controller. Faster than grabbing a blanket, you can use your coffee table RemoteLinc to recall "comfort mode," bringing the room that perfect temperature. When turning off your lights for the night from your bedside KeypadLinc, you can also save some energy and money by recalling "energy-savings mode" which minimizes the activity of your HVAC system while you're sleeping. Because you can program any button on an INSTEON controller to any temperature and mode on the thermostat, the possibilities are endless. This kit contains the Venstar T1800 thermostat along with the compatible INSTEON Thermostat Adapter. The thermostat requires power to function, therefore you’ll need to have a “common” wire running to your thermostat from your heating/cooling equipment. If you like the idea of a programmable thermostat, then you’ll love this INSTEON Remote Control Thermostat. Not only do you get a fully functional 7-day Programmable Thermostat, but with the added controllability with INSTEON you can control your thermostat from any room in the house, your laptop or even your web-enabled phone! INSTEON uses both the existing electrical wires in the home and radio-frequency to communicate. From lighting, appliance and thermostat control to integrated security systems, INSTEON allows you to manage your home the way you want – from a handheld remote, wall keypad, computer or web-enabled device like a smart phone. Easy to install and set up, INSTEON offers the flexibility and dependability to make life more convenient, safe and energy efficient. Note: The INSTEON Remote Control Thermostat uses RF for its communication. When controlling a power line only device such as a KeypadLinc, be sure to have at least one Access Point or dual-band device installed. These will convert RF signals to power line and vice versa.

Good first experience with Insteon Jun 23, 2011
By Felix
After spending several hours over the span of a week on the phone with the Insteon Gold customer service line I purchased a handful of Insteon products to control lighting and the thermostat in my home (particularly when I am on the road for work). I purchased a Smartlinc, dualband switchlincs (apparently this is a newer product), and the 7 day thermostat. After spending time on the phone, the products were fairly easy for me to install myself. Remotely controlling the thermostat is a great feature and the products seem to work without fail. Great customer service from Insteon - I'll probably buy more products.

Goodnight May 19, 2008
By T. Jones
Feels great to save money when I don't need the thermostat running while I'm asleep. I have a keypad by the bed to turn off the lights and the thermostat for when I'm going to bed.

Solid thermostat Aug 01, 2011
By J Ant
Excellent product. Pretty easy to install. My old thermostat was already wired for Common power. I actually only used 5 wires not six. Smarthome forums has tons of help and guidance on installing/using.

Great thermostat BUT ---- IR abilities questionable/pricey Jun 19, 2011
By Brian Olson "bri"
I got this thermostat and the 'compatible' IR receiver from Sma**ho**. I really like the Venstar thermostat, especially the ability to set a length of time to turn on 'fan only' on the hour, a hard-to-find feature. For IR control, I had planned to use the Sma**home SmartLinc WAN/LAN controller which was also purchesed, for off-site heat&air management. This thing was hit and miss, I couldn't troubleshoot if it was the controler or the reciever causing the thermostat not to respond to commands. I wasted a lot of time troubleshooting the manual and via phone with Smartho**.

We just moved to a new home, and it appears to be functioning (SmartLinc controller & Venstar T1800 w/IR receiver), at least for now. The extra IR adapter cost $99, way overpriced for something that only sends/receives IR signals and has caused me this much headache.

waste of time May 19, 2011
By biggvsdiccvs
I wanted to understand which part is actually the remote control. Unfortunately, instead of the product description, there is a long advertisement written by an excited idiot. I found the product manual on the manufacturer's website. It's not very clear, either, but it mentions in passing somewhere in the middle that the remote is IR (and it's probably the small rectangular thing on the bottom). This means it will have to be in direct view of the thermostat, which is makes it not that useful. They should have mentioned it in the product name or description.

P.S. It looks like they changed the description, which actually provides useful information now.
