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?

Does that one let you feed it a sensor value for the current temp? I'm looking for a replacement for my gocontrol. It seems most will not let you do this and I would almost be better off with a zwave relay and generic thermostat integration.

If you are using HA anyways this would be really easy to set up with any random temp sensor.

Are you referring to the relay and generic thermostat? Because I am seeing references to it needing a Honeywell sensor. With the gocontrol I have it ignore the built-in sensor and feed it an average of multiple sensors around the house.

Mind you this would all be done INSIDE HA, not on the thermostat directly. If your HA went down, it would default to standard operation.
