What are people on Lemmy using for their home thermostats?
I’m in the US with a packaged HVAC system (cool+heat) and was looking to buy a new thermostat, but I wanted to make sure it’s highly compatible with Home Assistant.
Ideally, I’m looking for something that speaks Matter over WiFi or Thread. I would like to mainly control it via HA. Everyone in my household are Android users (not totally sure if that’s important?). Also, it would be nice if I didn’t have to connect it to the cloud.
I was considering the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat, which seems to check all of the boxes. I was wondering if anyone here uses this thermostat.
Another one that seemed interesting was the Siterwell Smart Thermostat GS368M, although this was just announced very recently and who knows when/if it’ll go on sale.
Thanks. I knew there was something. The HomeKit setup actually sounds better, maybe I should switch.
I like our ecobee overall, especially for being able to specify which thermometers to focus on for a given setting.
But there are some things that I wish were easier. For example, my work days vary, so it’d be nice if it was easier to specify a work day versus a home day in advance, without having to change the schedule.
Eyeing up those Z-wave thermostats though…
