Hello,
Newbie here, so apologies if this is not a correct forum for this topic. (redirection is welcome)
We are getting a new variable speed AC system. The contractor has spec’d a Honeywell thermostat.
According to Honeywell, the thermostat will “work” when not connected to the Honeywell cloud, but the humidity functions will not work without the cloud. The humidity functions are essential to the operation of a variable speed AC unit.
I have searched for a thermo/humidistat that will work without reporting to the cloud, but I have not found one which is clearly able to function without the company gathering my data.
So …
Can we operate a Honeywell thermostat with Home Assistant and not use the Honeywell cloud?
Or even simpler, is there a thermostat which will control a variable speed AC without ever needing the internet?
We are fine with no remote access.
Many thanks for any input.
Edwin
