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.
Yes, it has full manual control from the touch screen. There’s also a version that’s a bit cheaper with some dedicated blister buttons.
Connect it to Home Assistant and you can do damn near anything with it. Wireguard allows remote access so we can monitor the temperature and control the heat & AC from anywhere.
