Thrive AirLink™ FAQ
Do I need WiFi or cell service to use the Thrive AirLink™?
No. AirLink isn’t cell or wifi based. It runs on the Amazon Sidewalk network, which covers about 95% of the populated United States. If you’re in the small share of areas without coverage, you can add an affordable Amazon Sidewalk gateway to your internet and you’re good to go. See how AirLink compares to WiFi controllers.

A 50% deposit is due with your order, paid online at checkout or arranged with us, and the balance is due on delivery. Early Access pricing starts at $256 per unit.
How many stations can one Thrive Cloud Controller manage?
50+ stations on a single Cloud Controller. AirLinks come in 1, 2, and 4 station counts and mount to the underside of any valve box lid.
