    I'm looking to remotely control the gas heating in a commercial premises that doesn't have an Internet connection.

    I believe the Climote is an option as it uses the mobile phone network?

    Are there any other options I could consider?

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have the climote fitted and can confirm it functions wirelessly using a built in sim card supplied with the unit,
    The only downside is there can only be one registered app user,
    Every other user has to use a text code communication to the heating controller,

    Alternatively you could fit a sim card router to the place of which your looking to control across the internet
    However this would ofcourse carry a monthly fee; where the climote doesn't

    Pretty sure that’s incorrect. And my siblings have the app controlling my parents house on their phones. It may be a case of using the same login details

    From bonkers.ie: At the initial purchase and installation stage, you'll pay €399 for a Climote system if you buy directly from Climote. This includes a €19 fee you'll pay for remote access for your first year. Remote access costs €36 per year for subsequent years.

    You can have a few people using the website

    Four of us in our home have the app without issue. It also works with Alexa but as op doesn't have WiFi this feature won't be important
