July 31, 2014: NetworkThermostat Announces Cloud Service for Its Smart Thermostats
Company Now Offers Both Direct Connect and Cloud Connect Options
GRAPEVINE, Texas — NetworkThermostat has announced its CloudConnect™ service for the company’s Net/X™ Wi-Fi and Ethernet smart thermostats. CloudConnect provides Net/X users with the convenience of remote access using the cloud with no limits on the number of thermostats or locations under the user’s management. CloudConnect also adjusts the user interface to match the device being used: desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
Net/X’s DirectConnect™ method allows users to make a direct connection to the thermostats from anywhere on-site or remotely, which is useful for customers who have security requirements that prevent them from going to the cloud. With the addition of the CloudConnect service, NetworkThermostat customers have a choice. Both methods can be used simultaneously with the Net/X-IP PC Command Center software. NetworkThermostat said its approach to smart thermostats integrates all of the web pages, schedules, date and time settings, alerts, passwords, network settings, and notification destinations directly into the thermostat. The thermostats reside on the local area network using Wi-Fi (UP32x/RP32x-WIFI thermostat) or Ethernet (UP32x/RP32x-IP thermostat). End users and service personnel can connect to the thermostats using a PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone.
