When your home Wi-Fi network goes down or internet service is temporarily interrupted, your smart thermostat continues to control your heating and cooling equipment normally based on its locally stored schedule and manual temperature setpoints. Because core HVAC relays are hardwired directly to the thermostat backplate, local climate control is never disrupted by network outages. However, remote smartphone app control, weather forecasts, and voice assistant integrations will be temporarily unavailable until Wi-Fi is restored. Verification: Adjust the target temperature directly on the physical thermostat wall unit to confirm local HVAC responsiveness during a network outage.
