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,
