What Thermostats Work Well with HS?

[dmurphy]

I use TZ16 thermostats (3 of them) for many years, they work perfectly. https://www.rcstechnology.com/products/

Is that the XL624? Does it work with any z-wave controller or is a Nexia bridge required?

I use it with the HS z-wave stick. The 'higher-end' versions of the Trane thermostat do not work with the z-wave stick, as far as I know.

I have been running with the XL624 for a number of years now. I'm using a Z-Net but suspect that it should work with any compatible controller.

Thanks.

I moved my thermostats into the closet and garage and replaced them with tablets so I can do a lot more using HSTouch. The biggest challenge was that the thermostat had to allow an external temperature sensor being the main sensor rather than averaging readings between the internal and external sensor. In addition, I wanted the thermostat to be z-wave. That limited me to the Trane 624 thermostat. It works quite well despite HAVC people rolling their eyes about me moving the thermostat into the garage/closet.

I have the Ecobee with Alexa and it's worked flawlessly for over a year since installing using the free Ecobee plugin.

I am trying to find a thermostat that works well with HS. I am on HS4 but a compatible PI from HS3 would also work if it works with a late model thermostat. Z-wave and/or WIFI preferred since Zigbee could be an issue.

If you have one that has a good track record please tell me which one and what plugin it uses and how you like it. Thanks
