Am 04. Mar, 2021 schwätzte Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss so: moin moin, offlist I got a suggestion for Radio Thermostat CT50e "Includes Wi-Fi unsnap module – allows connection to Wife and/or our cloud services. Open API available to allow you to create your own interface. C wire required for Wi-Fi operation additional minimal annual fee required." https://vipoutlet.com/product/radio-thermostat-ct50e-wifi-7-day-wi-fi-module-programmable-thermostat-2/ Not certain what a C wire is or why I need to pay an annual fee to use it. The website for Radio Thermostat is wix and requires a bunch of third party javascript, so I recommend avoiding it. On the Fediverse someone recommended tasmota firmware and Sonoff hardware. There are a bunch of posts about that combo. Sonoff looks interesting. https://sonoff.tech/ Apparently the tasmota firmware generally works with Sonoff products. I think I'm definitely gonna get a couple Sonoff products to play with. ciao, der.hans > I've not seen one, and been looking a good while actually.
