Thx Dave 
, much appreciated!!!
Now I can finally put an old tablet near the front door that will cover up the gap the thermostat will leave behind as well as an old alarm control panel that never worked and that I’m replacing with HA security 
That thermostat was the last thing preventing me from installing the tablet there and it’ll be nice to have a full control panel at the front door.
Wifey will be very happy
