No, it's connected via WiFi. The same as my garage door opener and

Not so. The code/password/key/etc. authenticates the WiFi device to
the
access point (AP), often part of the router, but not necessarily.
The
internet side of the access point is reached by an IP address, which
has
no password. There may be, however, something else BETWEEN the AP
and
the internet that restricts access in some other way.
Usually, this is the router and most home routers don't allow
anything
outside to initiate a connection.

But all can still be accessed via internet if the capability arises.

No. IF the router doesn't block the access (as most DO) and IF the
device is capable of responding to such attempts, only then can you
access the device from outside the LAN.

Hi,
Between thermostat and router is not a problem. Accessing the info on
temp. and humidity from any where in the world. Ideally best to have a
domain own name registered via DDNS. I can even see my house inside out
thru surveillance cameras from any where. When looking for one make sure
supplier [rovide DDNS for your use.

Tony, I agree. I own my name (dongares.com) and several other domains
and if you point your browser to http://www.dongares.com/weather.htm you
can see the temperature in my home and also the weather outside. I do
have that URL redirected at this time but it will still get you there.

Hi,
WX station? I have a Davis one.


Nope, La Crosse Technology. Actually, I have two identical ones just in
case something goes bad but so far the second one is still in the box. I
also have live cameras pointed at the house from a detached building and
several motion activated cameras in the house that upload via ftp and
also email me if motion is detected. Of course they are only on when we
are gone.
