Recommendations for Thermost (lemmy.world)

I'm considering upgrading my dumb digital thermostat. I'm only interested in one if it works seamlessly with HA (and is reasonably priced).

I think it most depends on what you're comfortable with.

If you want a lot of fancy features and dont mind corporate cloud control, there's Nest and similar.

If you definitely want it to function off-cloud and offline, the Honeywell Zigbee ones work great. I hear good things about the Aqara ones. I think Govee is offline. There's lots.

I have been happy with my Honeywell WiFi thermostat (T6 I think). I have it set up via the HomeKit integration, and block it from the Internet. Was relatively inexpensive and works well.

Yeah, exactly. $50, has Zigbee, does what I want it to do with no fuss at all. Lemon Squeezy.
