Introduction
We live in a world where everything is wired (actually, wireless). One of the latest pieces to go online is your home thermostat. Marvell produces WiFi radios for use in certain 3M Filtrete thermostats and the promise of being able to remotely control your own thermostat is a tempting offer. Think about going on vacation or a short trip and forgetting to turn down the heating. This isn't a problem anymore with the WiFi thermostat. In fact, you could warm up your house on the trip back.

Packaging
This is the packaging you'll see if you buy this at a retail store like Home Depot. The Filtrete product line has a few different models. Make sure you pick up the correct one. The model is 3M-50.
The back of the hard-to-open shell contains some extra information and the Marvell WiFi controller. It snaps into one of the expansion ports in the back of the thermostat.
