I want to be able to control my thermostat from my phone, so I’m looking for recommendations for one that meets the following:
- Works with no network access (as in, I can access it but it can’t access anywhere else, enforced via VLAN on my firewall)
- Lets me control my single apartment thermostat (temperature, heat/cool, maybe programming but it’s okay if I have to do that on the unit directly)
- Not hundreds of dollars
- No microphone
Any thoughts? Really just want something simple.
Edit: I have no other smart home devices right now, if that matters.
I got my Ecobee from our utility company for like $25 and it comes with a remote temp sensor/mmwave radar sensor which is great for home assistant presence detection.
