I want to be able to control my thermostat from my phone, so I’m looking for recommendations for one that meets the following:

  • Works with no network access (as in, I can access it but it can’t access anywhere else, enforced via VLAN on my firewall)
  • Lets me control my single apartment thermostat (temperature, heat/cool, maybe programming but it’s okay if I have to do that on the unit directly)
  • Not hundreds of dollars
  • No microphone

Any thoughts? Really just want something simple.

Edit: I have no other smart home devices right now, if that matters.

      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.
