#What's everyone using for thermostat controls these days?

ive just been using a custom solution with an atmega168, started it 2 years before home assistant even existed
~3 years ago, i slapped an mqtt client into it, and now HA can control everything
Do you mind sharing how you set it up?
https://github.com/cleverca22/thermostat/ runs on an atmega168, it reads all of the ds18b20's on the network, and prints numbers over serial
an FTDI adapter links that to a desktop, where i then run another project (that i forgot to flag as open, it contains a bunch of passwords), which converts to mqtt
ive been thinking of re-writing the whole thing lately
Repo is private
oh right, wrong repo, one sec
https://github.com/cleverca22/thermostat_firmware this one was the atmega firmware
thermostat was the custom android app, because home-assistant didnt exist when i started things
Awesome, thank you
running the honeywell lyric t6 for a while without issues. Using Honeywell integration.
btw, you would have to set-up a resideo account, wich is free, and only for configuring 1st time iirc. Never used app after that, all controlled in haos
I'm using hive currently but looking to move to Drayton Wiser and Bosch TRV2 soon
You should be able to use the HomeKit Controller integration for local control on these
I’m using HomeKit Controller with my T9 and T6 Pro from Honeywell
I have a d1mini board flashed with espHome that has a temp/humidity sensor to send the values to HA. Then I have a sonoff relay flashed with espHome that's in parallel with my house thermostat. Then a generic thermostat in home assistant controls the entities. I use have the remote subscription from nabu casa so I can turn the heat up before I get home.
I've been using TOON v1 (Essent) for quite a few years now. And I'm very happy that I do. I've rooted it so it doesn't need any form of subscriptions. It also has a few Home Assistant capabilities, like a Home Assistant app and an integration in Home Assistant.
I've been modifying a couple of things, so it would respond a lot faster to my touch, because from factory, those devices are just terribly slow.
I've disabled a few services via command line (it's linux after all), root acces gives you the posibility to install an app store, add apps like home assistant, which lets you show states of entities and you'll be able to switch home assistant devices.
Next to being an awesome dashboard, it's also a thermostat and P1 meter.
The TOON v2 has more memory, which lets you run more apps on the dashboard.
I wouldn't trade this heavily pliable thermostat for anything else but a TOON v2. 🙂
For the sensor-side, it's just random ESPs with a temperature/air-pressure/moisture sensor and ESPHome. For actually controlling the radiators, I use a bunch of Tuya+Zigbee "smart" Thermostats
