Are there any thermostats at all that work completely locally, i.e. without any internet access and no cloud, but still can be controlled via HASS?

- maxerickson 4y agoVenstar wifi thermostats have a local API that can be switched on. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/venstar/ https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/venstar/ I've not used it (I installed one because I wanted scheduling and liked that it had further possibilities and wasn't overly expensive).
- kcb 4y agoYea, your best bet for non cloud/internet stuff is to stick with Zigbee or Zwave. I have a Trane Zwave thermostat https://www.zwaveproducts.com/collections/trane/products/xr524-trane-xr524-thermostat-tzemt524aa21ma https://www.zwaveproducts.com/collections/trane/products/xr5... that’s worked well for several years. For a more advanced use case I’ve recently set it up so that the thermostat logic is within HASS. An automation driven by a binary switch helper then switches the thermostat to a fixed hot or cold value for heat and AC. Then I can feed the HASS thermostat with whatever temperature sensor data I want, like an average of multiple sensors around the house. All this is totally optional though if you just want to control the thermostat from within HASS.
