Hi. Thermostats are expensive. I currently have this one, at my apartment.

I would like to replace it with one that connects to HA. First, is this a good idea since I’m in an apartment? I’ll obviously keep the current one, and put it back before leaving. Second, what’s a good one that is either open source or at least non internet based (but still works on HA)?

Thanks!

    I’ve been picking up cheap used or Amazon warehouse Honeywell T6 pro z-wave thermostat. (Same as sue)

    Been pretty good so far, but requires z-wave for any of the remote functions to work

    They can be found on eBay for as cheap as $20 shipped for just the unit and no mounting plate, and since you already have another model it’s a drop in.
