Thermostat recommendations? (lemmy.today)

What are people on Lemmy using for their home thermostats?

I'm in the US with a packaged HVAC system (cool+heat) and was looking to buy a new thermostat, but I wanted to make sure it's highly compatible with Home Assistant.

Ideally, I'm looking for something that speaks Matter over WiFi or Thread. I would like to mainly control it via HA. Everyone in my household are Android users (not totally sure if that's important?). Also, it would be nice if I didn't have to connect it to the cloud.

I was considering the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat, which seems to check all of the boxes. I was wondering if anyone here uses this thermostat.

Another one that seemed interesting was the Siterwell Smart Thermostat GS368M, although this was just announced very recently and who knows when/if it'll go on sale.

Just installed the Honeywell T9 yesterday. It integrates with Home assistant offline, and handles my heat pump stages. Pretty happy with it so far.

We're about to be on the market for a new thermostat so this post is just in time. My husband got us a nest and apparently after 10 years they just nope out. Not because it breaks per say but because after 10 years it just shuts down no matter what "expires". Might consider the honeywell

Nest requires the internet and Google cloud connection in order to work. They can just shut it off at any time.

You might be thinking of Google recently announcing that they’re no longer supporting older Nest thermostats. Not because they’re broken or anything, they just decided it was too much work for them so those people who bought a working and still perfectly good thermostat should just go ahead and give them more money.

Because they decided.

Never buy a Google product.
