And deal with breaking updates happening on HA and the thermostat software itself while simultaneously maintaining api keys and policy changes every 2-6 months.
Its hard work.
You're better off making your own thermostat relay controller
From my understanding, those days are in the past. I can't speak to that from experience because I only recently got into HA.
Depends on what proprietary WiFi controller you purchased. The one I bought for my electric underfloor heating makes me manually request new api key every 6 months. So I've had to write ANOTHER script to automate requesting a new key via their website with selenium
Now theyve put a captcha in and ive since given up. I'm too old and busy for these games so I made my own janky looking ESP relay setup
