Hi! I am running Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I have “Home Assistant” installed in it, I oly have some smart lights connected to it. I would like to integrate a Thermostat with HA. But I am a bit overwhelmed with the different types of connections (Z-wave, Zigbee, Wifi, …)
Do you guys have any kind of recommendation, what connection is better? I would like to keep it local (or connecting remotely via Tailscale) but I would like to avoid any cloud or third-party server solution.
What thermostat hardware can I buy?
I use ZigBee and have lots of the sonoff trv’s. I tried a few Chinese ones and definitely DO NOT recommend.
Buy the sonoff ones, they still get firmware updates after two years. Batteries last about 1 year in my experience which is good too
Same. They are great.
