Using a Zwave thermostat with Sonoffs

I am looking to see if anyone has connected a Z-Wave thermostat (without a receiver) such as the Z-Wave Secure Wall Thermostat to control a Sonoff switch rather than the Z-Wave Secure receiver for example?

My aim is to add these thermostats controllers to locations where I already have Sonoffs installed controlling heaters as I would like to have a visual display on a thermostat and control using the actual thermostat rather than just being able to use HA. They ideally need to be battery powered also.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I assume you are aware that those two speak totally different languages. You might be able to bridge that with HA. I use a Z-Wave button to trigger a sonoff relay, so that works, but controlling sonoffs directly from the Z-Wave thermostat wont.

Yeah, sorry forgot to mention I already have a Z-Wave controller working and connected to HA.

I just want to use the thermostat basically like you do with the button so I assume it’ll work.

thanks
