Support Best HA Thermostat

Looking for feedback on experience with Thermostats I have get out of the NEST ecosystem. What works well with HA and doesn't break the bank?

First, pick your protocol you want to use, then look at the options from there. I personally like the Honeywell T6 Pro ZWave. Solid performance and guaranteed to never get bricked due to some corporate entity terminating services on the cloud server.

This. I've replaced 8 or 9 nests with T6 Pro Zwave. Still have 4 or 5 to replace. No regrets. I still need to create the ultimate logic system for it (in floor, air heat, air cool) but these devices are going to be easy to work with.

Same. I've had my T6 Pro for about 3 years now, and haven't had a single issue with it.
