I’m not sure the best way to ask or if there is a better community to post…

I’m hoping to use my home server to control my home thermostat but not sure where to start.

Does anyone use Home Assistant for this? Another software?

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to ask about hardware here, but are there things to be aware of in making sure that a wifi thermostat is best suited for the job?

    I got a Venstar T2000. Its at a decent price point, HAOS has built in support for it, and it can work entirely without internet.

      Thanks for the tip! Others have mentioned that it’s very tricky to find one that works offline without the manufacturer’s software (website, login, data collection, etc)
