I purchased a CT-101 thermostat with the Lowes / Iris branding two months back. That is pairing well with Almond and working from Web, LCD and iOS. No problem there at all.
Since my Lowes had clearance on Iris kits, I bought an Iris Kit with Smart Plug, Hub and Thermostat. The thermostat that came with this kit is different. The model number is the same. However, it has some additional lights that my previous one did not have. Now this thermostat works with LCD and iPhone app, but does not work from the Web UI.
I have no idea why this is the case, but I thought I would leave this here.
