FAQS

Does it work outside the United States?

Yes I think so

Is anyone using the GE 45602 lamp modules with this? I have quite a few already and hate to purchase this if it won’t work.

I do not personally use that model for florescent or appliances, but do use the one for standard lights and it has worked without flaw. Easy to program and conduct and overrides. I would think your model would work without flaw.

Will the nexia branded cameras work with other controllers/services such as alarm.com if we decide to eliminate the nexia bridge?

Mine didn’t had to have bridge

Is there an app that works on windows phones?

No there is no Windows Phone App but Nexia announced that they are working on one.

When I connect it to Schlage lock and access it online, it shows me the battery %. What is that when the product description says it is run on power?

There are batteries in the lock that powers the lock. The % shows you the remaining life of the batteries.

Is there an app that works on windows phones?

No it does not. In my experience the 220V converters do not work well with the 110V products. I have burned quite a few things including a Wii, and a sewing machine!

It will work with 220 Volts ?

No it does not. In my experience the 220V converters do not work well with the 110V products. I have burned quite a few things including a Wii, and a sewing machine!

Is using this bridge the only way you can lock and unlock the door remotely from your Iphone?

yes, is the only way when you are not home.
BUMMER! but it works perfectly
You have to pay a monthly fee of $9.99.
But u can also connect other locks IN the same wifi network or camaras or plugs

If i already have a nexia bridge in a home in ny can i add another nexia bridge to my home in fl to the same account?

It DEPENDS… The second home’s bridge, the thermostat(s) and ONE light control per thermostat and unlimited cameras are free, but no sensors or locks. Sensors (water sensor, smoke detector, door sensors, and locks, etc) or additional controls require additional fees. See the Nexia plans at: http://www.nexiahome.com/nexia-plans 

Do the schedules for lighting still work if the internet service is down (offline mode)?

Yes,

Can this e connect to a wifi hot spot portable unit like a Verizon “Jetpack”?

Directly, no. But if you had a Wi-Fi game adapter (either net connection on one side and wi-FI to the hub), then yes.

How much is the subscription?

“Subscribe today for $9.99/mo – no contracts or cancellation fees.” nexiahome.com

Is this compatible with Amazon Echo? If not yet, then when?

Echo is pretty new and Nexia does not mention anything about compatibility with Echo.
