Recommendations for self-hosted Thermostats (North America)

Recommendations for self-hosted Thermostats (North America) - Lemmy.world

Can anyone recommend a thermostat system that is self-hosted (no third-party cloud) and integrates into homeassistant nicely? Something tasmota based would be even better. This is the final bit of home automation that’s been difficult to solve. I’ve got a heat pump system and there are very few smart thermostat systems that aren’t beholden to a public cloud service.

I seem to remember that the Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave comes up a lot when this question is asked. I'm not running Z-wave yet, though, so I can't comment.

Thanks! Per my other comment, I guess I've gotta look at Z-Wave if there are no wifi-only options available. Checking out the T6 Pro now

Another +1 for the t6. It's been running great for 6+ months

I have two Centralite HA 3156105 ZigBee ones I use for two zones. They work pretty well. They are the older Centralite units with xfinity markings on them, can be found on eBay for about $15 - $20. Both Z2M and ZHA support it.

I have been extremely satisfied with my Honeywell T6 Z-wave thermostat.

Completely local. No vendor phone apps. No accounts.

It's more of DIY solution, but works fine, did you check with https://esphome.io/ if your heat pump system couldnt be connected ?

Most of them have a way to communicate as they already have an offline thermostat

I really like my zigbee thermostats and would recommend them not cloud at all. I have not found a tasmota or esphome compatible thermostat. You could make your our with relative ease use a simple relay board. But I don't think that it would look great
