Comments about Bay Controls, LLC. BAYweb Advanced Internet Thermostat Kit -White - Multistage & Heat Pump:

I purchased three thermostats, one for a lake house and two for a 5000 SF office with two HVAC units. The intent for the lake house was for remote monitoring and to allow us to adjust the setpoint so that the house would be comfortable when we arrive. The intent for the office was two-fold: to provide programming capablility to suit four ten-hour workdays and to restrict access to temperature setpoints.

I was not sure which BAYweb unit would work for my application. I sent a photograph of the old thermostat wiring and received a response within 30 minutes explaining the differences in the units and detailing the product that I needed.

The units perform remarkably well. The office keypads are locked out, rendering the local setpoints inoperable which is exactly what I wanted. The lake house unit allows us to change the setpoint well before arrival so that the house is comfortable when we get there. As an added bonus, BAYweb sends me an email whenever their server loses contact with any control unit. This lets me know when web access is lost or when power outages occur, which is not uncommon at the lake house.

There are a few caveats. Changing setpoints from a mobile device such as a Blackberry is difficult. I can raise temperature setpoints but am not able to lower them. Also some of the navigation buttons in the data logging displays don't work as expected. These are not show stoppers.

Overall these units are excellent investments and give far more programming and control functionality than any other thermostat I've ever seen. I would highly recommend them.

Comments about Bay Controls, LLC. BAYweb Advanced Internet Thermostat Kit -White - Multistage & Heat Pump:

[...] helpful with programming advanced features. Occupancy sensor sounds like good feature that did not consider. Application is vacation/rental home so ability to change temps during unoccupied period is key.

Works great. Easy to install. Great price! Bought one for my home, then one for a neighbor and now I have two more neighbors ordering the product (and all within 3 weeks of my installation). What better endorsement could a product receive?

Comments about Bay Controls, LLC. BAYweb Advanced Internet Thermostat Kit -White - Multistage & Heat Pump:

[...] I am very pleased with the performance of this product. It does exactly as the literature says. I installed a wireless occupancy sensor and it works flawlessly. This system delivers as expected and I am thrilled that I can leave my home for the weekend and my home will automatically keep the temperature down during this cold winter because it knows I am gone. The website works well, is super easy to navigate, and the applications provide awesome insight on your occupancy levels, temperature, and other data it records throughout the day.
