I unfortunately HAD to get a stupid thermostat with wifi. can’t even get one without it now. I’d much rather have it not hooked up but I may be forced to.
How can I put this on a VLAN and block all it’s telemetry? It’s a honeywell. Can i put it on my VLAN and then use mullvad DNS to block all the shit?
“They” are saying it has to be on wifi so it can see the outdoor temp to talk to the heat pump. Bullshit i say.
what if you just dont connect it to any wifi, ever? i also highly doubt you ‘cant even get one now [without wifi]’
an analog thermostat is 20$ at home depot
yeah but the installers won’t install those and void your warranty. Fucking bullshit nowadays man.
Anyway, i’m not going to connect it.
