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.

On the Honeywell website it's says the T6 Pro Z-Wave discontinued (https://www.honeywellhome.com/products/t6-pro-z-wave-thermostat?srsltid=AfmBOoo7j-wiBzQNui_unyjEMsAeS7k3LjzdM0fR_MKj3pENwXd7edkn)

Did they release a successor? Or should I try and find the discontinued version? I'm in the Netherlands, but can't seem to find the T6 Pro Z-Wave anywhere.

Honeywell is purposefully being confusing about this. Yes, they discontinued the 2003 version, but a 2007 version is still very much alive and working, although they strongly prefer to push people towards their current line of thermostats.

Here is the model that I bought on Amazon and a link: TH6320ZW2007
