I don't have any smart home devices yet. The replies to this question make me think it might be more complicated than I want to do yet. Doesn't seem like there's just a standalone unit that I could get.
Yeah, I don't blame you not wanting to commit to a hub if you'd only have this thermostat.
Depending on what features you want maybe you could find an offline one with those features built in. I know there's ones with schedules and presence detection that are fully offline.
Don't commit to a specific hub. You can setup HomeAssistant and use it to control most of these devices with a simple $20 zigbee or zwave USB donlge.
Absolutely, if full local control is what you want and you expect to get more devices then it's worth either reusing an old computer for home assistant or getting a home assistant yellow.
