I’m also having problems connecting to the unit from a web browser. iPhone app works just fine, tested it both internally and externally with port 8068 open.

But, just browsing with ie9 on port 80, I get nothing. Also tried port 8068, but no luck.

Did anybody find a solution ? I’ve emailed Heatmiser, but don’t expect a response till next week now, but will update the post when I find the solution.

Also, should emphasise the point that the front of the thermostat does come off to reveal the panel with screw holes. This is very poorly explained in the installation manual.

Eagerly awaiting the Android app !

Chris – check out the document download area which I have now linked to in the post, and if you don’t have any joy, I’d recommend contacting Heatmiser for support.

Thanks for the comment, Luke – glad you enjoyed my review and found it useful. I guess you found the same site as me (Hypocaust) – I hadn’t noticed that they sneakily add VAT at checkout. For this reason, I won’t link to them and certainly don’t recommend buying from them…

Good review Chris, encouraged me to also buy this product.

For info, I went in search of the £126 price. Found it at one website, but turns out was excluding VAT (not obvious until you get to the final payment page). In the end bought straight from the source.

Now I just need to figure out how to connect it properly…

I have the same thermostat but I am having real problems logging on from a browser, the iphone app works fine but I cant log on using my windows phone inside the house and we tried logging on from a pc at work and that didnt work either.

We have also forwarded port 80.

This drove me nuts so I opened a ticket with MS support and we found a reg key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0\Search\Global\Gathering Manager]

change the value to 0 then rerun a full crawl.
