Hello all,
Does anyone know if there are any manufacturer's that do not require internet access to control their smart thermostats/light switches? I do not understand the reasoning (aside from farming info from customers) why the app on my phone would need to contact a remote server for the server to then send a command back to the thermostat (2 feet from me) to increase the temp by 1 degree. If there is an actual functional reason for this process I would honestly be interested in hearing what that is.
Thanks,
Brad
