There are many applications where it is very
convenient to utilize the Remote Access
Center while setting your temperature/humidity
settings. For example, if you are on your way
out of town and you forgot to put the Comfort
Window into Vacation Mode, simply log in
using your smart-phone to put it into Vacation
Mode. Or, if you are simply watching TV, it
can be very convenient to use your tablet to
change the temperature rather than walking
over to the thermostat. There are countless
applications for using this useful feature!

bar links.
