Can I use your controller without Wi-Fi or 485 connection?

Yes, our ICON, LRM or AIR can be set to work in a standalone mode (without WI-FI or 485 connection). Though while the device is in the standalone mode, and for configuration or any other needs such as changing controller settings, add/delete users, or change access rights, you must get controllers online. This can be done with the portable Wi-fi hotspot. Just for the moment of configuration update. Then controllers may stay in standalone mode further.
