Venstar Comfort Call Phone Controlled Thermostat Kit (ACC0433/T1700)

Overview

The Venstar Comfort Call Phone Controlled Thermostat Kit helps you to save money by controlling your thermostat over the phone!

Save energy by running your heater and air conditioning only when you're at home. The 1-Day Programmable Digital Thermostat allows you to program the heater to turn on half an hour before you normally arrive home or run the air conditioning only when necessary to keep the pets cool while you're at work. Comfort Call allows you to call and 'talk' to your compatible thermostat. Monitoring and controlling your thermostat is now simple and easy from any phone, from anywhere. Comfort Call employs the latest in voice recognition and synthesis technology. It can tell you the indoor temperature of your home and the outdoor temperature, provided there is a working outdoor sensor connected to the thermostat. Compatible with both heat/cool and heat pump systems, the 1-Day Programmable Digital Thermostat will control up to two heat stages as well as one cool stage.
