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.

    Tuya was also supposedly reworking their API/integration to allow for local control, though idk if that ever happened.

      The Hacs Integration makes use of the device’s API - don’t know if it is their intended use of it, but it works

      Tuya requires cloud access and the API’s are on their way to be paid only.

      Only use tuya zigbee. Keep away from wifi devices at all costs!
