Which underfloor thermostat to choose for local integration (no cloud)?

1

I’m looking for an underfloor electric heating thermostat with these criteria:

  • Finland, 230 V
  • reasonably priced
  • can be controlled with Home Assistant without relying in any cloud services (after setup, at least)
  • will work as a conventional non-smart thermostat if Home Assistant is not available
  • no soldering required

Below are my findings so far. I would be happy to get more data to this list. Maybe this could be a Wiki page somewhere?

Meross MTS200HK (Wifi)

Tuya Beca/Moes/Qiumi, e.g. BHT-002-GBLW

Futurehome (Zigbee)

  • Price: About €78
  • TODO: Determine if it works without a cloud. What other hardware is required?

Heatit Z-TRM3 (Z-Wave)

  • Price: About 120 € + z-wave gateway (about 40 €)
  • works locally without a cloud

Ebeco EB-THERM 500 Wifi ready

  • Price: 115 € + 68 € wifi module
  • TODO: Determine if it works without a cloud.

Ensto ECO16BT (Bluetooth)

I am facing the same problem. For me zigbee devices could be a good choice but they are hard to find.

This one seems not to be supported. Please let us know if you have other findings.

The Moes 006 is actually supported. I have been using 6 of them in my house in Finland and it’s working fine with Zigbee2Mqtt.

My father has a wifi version of the same thermostat, that one does not work with Homeassistant, only through the Tuya app.

I am honestly very happy with the thermostats and they’ve been doing exactly what I want them to do. Don’t bother with the Wifi versions though.

Let me know if you have any questions/.

I now have one of these, and the local integration seems to work fine so far. One note: during installation, one needs to briefly use an Android device for the pairing.

It remains to be seen whether the integration is called unstable for a reason. :slight_smile:

Thanks @albertogeniola for the integration!

What are your experiences about the thermostat and the HA integration?

Quite positive, so far. The thermostats (not the integration, I suppose) have lost wifi connection once or twice, reconnecting when I turn them off and on. In HA, everything works as expected.

I know have one configuration issue with the local-only setup, relating to sensor settings. This can be worked around by using meross_lan integration instead, but I haven’t checked the pluses and minuses of that option yet.
