How to tell if yours is going to work
So , now i see all the bad reviews - i purchased one of these 8 months ago, had no issues, then went ahead and bought another -- and had the same results as the people writing bad reviews.
Since i had one that worked (and 3 that didn't - amazon made a special case and let me return one 'one more time') I was actually able to isolate the exact problem - it's the USNAP module
I tried various combinations of my two thermostats, the modules, and location (Upstairs/Downstairs), and through the scientific method was able to determine the exact problem:
if your USNAP module says model "RTMV-01" -- 5 Stars, you are good to go, able to program schedules via your iPhone, and all the other internet goodness this was designed for.
If your USNAP module says "RTWG-01" -- 0 Stars -- quickly return this to Amazon, as it will not work. This will save you hours of resets, soft resets, secret modes, switching module sides, testing power with a voltmeter, crying softly, etc etc
To Sum up --- RTMV-01 ***** -- RTWG-01 negative infinity stars
