It probably depends on the countries but your thermostat is usually tied to your HVAC system, i.e. you usually change your thermostat when you change your HVAC, so it's more often than when homes are built.
So the best way to get volume is probably to partner with a HVAC maker.
- danans 7y ago> i.e. you usually change your thermostat when you change your HVAC This isn't a technical requirement (in the US at least). Thermostat HVAC connections follow a simple wiring/control scheme, which is why smart thermostats can be retrofit at all. That said, replacing an inefficient and poorly balanced HVAC system with a newer well designed one, and insulating a house to modern standards will save far more on operating costs than a smart thermostat, but it is orders of magnitude more expensive in upfront costs.
