NOTE: This product requires an Ethernet Power Adaptor Click here for 2-port Ethernet Power Adaptor Click here for 6-port Ethernet Power Adaptor Single Stage Programmable Internet Thermostat 1-Stage Heat / 1-Stage Cool The first and only Internet enabled thermostat offering features far in excess of existing programmable or serial communicating thermostats that also offers users and installers the flexibility of secure, Internet based remote control from anywhere in the world. Ideal for the broadband connected household or commercial enterprise, these networked thermostats were designed specifically to simplify the tedious effort of configuring and programming electronic thermostats for maximal energy efficiency, as well as eliminate the need for dedicated RS232 or RS485 connections. The Proliphix Internet Connected Thermostats add HVAC control to the emerging world of converged data, voice and video over the Internet. Thermostat Management Interface The Thermostat Management Interface (TMI) can be accessed on a local network from any computer which has installed an approved Proliphix web browser. Proliphix supports the following web browsers: • Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher on Windows XP, XP Professional • Safari 1.2.4 on MAC • Firefox Mozilla 1.0 on either Windows XP, XP Professional, MAC The Proliphix Network Thermostats were designed specifically to communicate directly over the Internet using the Internet Protocol (IP). This capability allows the user to securely access, manage and control their thermostats from anywhere in the world with the use of common web browser. To provide this Remote Management capability, Proliphix has invested significantly to develop a software application running on a secure and highly reliable web server which intercommunicates to registered Proliphix Thermostats on a periodic interval to ensure that each thermostat is “reachable” by any web browser throughout the internet. Proliphix offers this Remote Management Service running on our Server Software as a FREE service to Proliphix authorized customers! This Server Software provides user authentication, IP address independence and email alarm notification. After the user has authenticated as a registered Proliphix thermostat owner, the server communicates to the thermostat to open a secure channel between the user’s web browser and the desired thermostat. Communication between the user and their thermostat can then be invoked by the user through the Remote Management GUI. The user simply clicks on links in the browser to access his/her thermostats with no knowledge of IP addressing. Additionally, alarms or alerts detected at the thermostats are communicated immediately to the Proliphix web server application for processing. Notification of these alarms and exception conditions are then communicated to the user (or their agents) via email to either their cell phones or standard email accounts.

Comments about Proliphix Proliphix NT10e 1 Heat/1 Cool Programmable Internet Thermostat:

I installed this in my vacation home in northern Michigan. It is so much nicer to arrive to a warm house when it's 20 degrees outside. Installation was not difficult except to get the port forwarding thru my router. I called technical support at Proliphix. The tech was able to complete the installation & have me up & running in no time.

Comments about Proliphix Proliphix NT10e 1 Heat/1 Cool Programmable Internet Thermostat:

I have a vacation home in the mountains that is a log home. In the winter, the temperature drops to almost zero. I needed a thermostat that would maintain a constant temp. above freezing, and also allow me to heat up the home prior to the family's arrival. Since the warm up time can be as much as 4 hours, this product is perfect. I can adjust the temperature FROM MY IPHONE, and when we get there the home is toasty-warm.

I spent less than an hour installing the unit, and another hour or so configuring my router to make it accessible

Comments about Proliphix Proliphix NT10e 1 Heat/1 Cool Programmable Internet Thermostat:

Although the hardware is well designed and fully functional, the software/firmware/web interface needs a little attention. Specifically, the web interface.

I typically install these units in summer homes, where the client needs to cool the house down before they arrive. I think that the web interface should offer the user a simple login screen followed by only the temperature adjustments for all of the users' devices, rather than the current 'screen o' numbers'. It's all perfectly functional now, but it just seems a bit overcomplicated when I explain to my client the steps required to change the temperature, and the fact that they have to do it for each device (some homes have 10 or 15 or more)

Reducing the amount of information on each web page would be a great start to reducing the clutter and confusion. The ability to change all of the devices at once is also high on my wish list.

If you only need one or 2 of these for your space, then the above issues are not a big deal. For systems with many zones however, it can take quite some time to go through each device, find the temperature adjustment page, change the temperature, submit the change, wait for the change to get accepted, then move on to the next one.

Comments about Proliphix Proliphix NT10e 1 Heat/1 Cool Programmable Internet Thermostat:

I installed two of these at a vacation home 1300 miles away. Wireless capability would make them perfect (although perhaps less reliable)- but as long as you can get a CAT-5 cable from the thermostat to your PC or router, you will be in business. All I need to do is log on and change the settings before I leave for the airport- and now arrive to a perfectly climate controlled home. The high/low temp email alert is a great feature as well.
