I moved into a new apartment which has a dumb thermostat. I’m looking to get a smart one which I can control locally with HA.
I don’t want to spend too much. Looking at the cheapest options (Moes BHT002 for example), the starting price seems around 20-25 usd. The most I want to spend is 40-50 usd.
My eye fell on the BHT-009 from Moes. But I can’t find any sources about controlling it locally or flashing custom firmware onto it, what seems to be possible with the BHT-002. I like the knob instead of touch buttons and the “dark theme”. That’s why I like the BHT-009 model. I don’t want the thermostat shine too much light into the room at night.
Any experience with controlling this model LOCALLY with HA?
If not, any suggestions for other options in my price range? I’d prefer WiFi, but if there is no suitable WiFi option, I’d consider Zigbee.
Thanks in advance!
