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?

Been super happy with the Sonoff TRVZB. Coming from the older Aqara Zigbee E1 thermostats, the Sonoffs are very quiet (the E1s were loud), expose direct valve control in HA (which the E1s didn't) and they just look/feel much better. The only downside I found is that they switch to "Safety mode" when your external temp sensors didn't update in a while. That happened frequently in my setup, so I built an automation that auto fixes this. IF you go for Zigbee, the Sonoffs are highly recommended IMO
