Can anyone recommend a thermostat system that is self-hosted (no third-party cloud) and integrates into homeassistant nicely? Something tasmota based would be even better.

This is the final bit of home automation that’s been difficult to solve. I’ve got a heat pump system and there are very few smart thermostat systems that aren’t beholden to a public cloud service.

    I believe there are a few Honeywell models that are Z-Wave, so that’d be fully local. I’m using EcoBee, which does have cloud control, but I’ve added it to Home Assistant via HomeKit, and that is local control. It’s a little annoying because EcoBee doesn’t expose it’s fan setting via HomeKit, so I can’t have HA kick on the fan when the AC isn’t running, for example.

      Thanks - I’ll take a closer look at Z-Wave again. I’m only running wifi based devices so far but if this is the only way to get better thermostat control I might have to compromise.
