Yes, an Emerson Sensi smart thermostat will continue to function normally as a standard digital programmable thermostat if it is disconnected from the internet or if your home Wi-Fi network goes down. Because core heating and cooling relays are hardwired directly to the wall subbase, manual temperature adjustments and daily schedules stored locally on the device will continue running. However, remote smartphone app control and weather updates will be temporarily unavailable. Verification: Adjust the target temperature directly on the physical thermostat wall unit to confirm local HVAC responsiveness.
