Personally my dream thermostat would be Amazon’s smart thermostat, but with a firmware that allows for local control by home assistant.
Here’s why I think the hardware is so great:
- Simple, high-contrast temperature display (7-segment led)
- Just a few buttons to override temp/mode manually
- Reliable sensor (it’s made by Honeywell)
- Nice industrial design (doesn’t get in the way)
- Low price point (got it for $49)
I really wish someone would find a way to unlock their firmware. I tried to mess with it and figured it did MQTT (yay!) but it does certificate pinning :-/ I even opened one up but couldn’t find an easy way to dump the firmware off of its i.MX chip.
