Hello, I am about to purchase a Venstar T7900 thermostat, which I want to integrate with HS (both monitor and control). I am running HS3 on a Hometroller SEL.
I am woefully ignorant in this area. From what I read, I get the impression that some thermostats are easier to integrate than others. I like the T7900 because they publish their API specification for a Wi-Fi link to a home automation system. The installation and user manual is here, and the API spec is here. They offer a cloud-based configuration, but they say that local access is also feasible.
I'm looking for the easiest, most reliable interface to an HS3 plug-in. I am already running Big5 and mcsMQTT, which may or may not be helpful. I'd be willing to consider any recommended plug-in. I like MQTT. I am adverse to any solution that would require flashing new code to the thermostat itself.
TIA for any help you can offer.
