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.
example link there’s a lot of options.
Mounted it near the HVAC, got one in a premade case.
*Another link with the case, I don’t work for them, it’s what I landed on:
