It's even worse than that, but I moved on from trying to work with Phillip, you should too.

Just a guess.

I've thought about a similar business model for building electric tugs. A big concern is frustrated customers who can't wait a day for an answer to an e-mail.

They WOULD NOT give me a phone number to talk to them. Everytime they wanted information or confirm something they would send an email even if it was a yes/no answer. I asked them for a number every time but they would never give me one. I don't know about you but I don't have access to hourly email, what a pain.

You would think that a component that cost so much from a company based in NY would have a support phone number. :confused:
Steve, I just send you a PM...

verizon?
 
I live in an area where only Verizon is the phone carrier. Is it possible to get a remote switch to work with them.

For years I've been using a Verizon Hotspot (added to my Verizon cell phone account) and this WEMO smart plug. It's worked well.

What hotspot are you using? The ones on their website don?t have very good reviews.

They should. They are 120V powered, so you aren't depending on a battery.

I tried one some years ago, and it most definitely did not like the cold. Ymmv

I have the Verizon Jetpack® 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot - AC791L, but it appears to be discontinued. Looks like its made by NETGEAR. I've had no problems with it in the 3 years it's been in my hangar and continuously plugged in.

Phillip, where are you (how cold) and which device were you using?
