17 hours ago17 hr What is the best thermostat to use with EISY?I used the Insteon/Smartlabs 2441V plugin with a Venstar thermostat in an ISY994 system for years and it worked great, but the 2441V appears to be discontinued.

16 hours ago16 hr I've had several as well. They straddle the line of having cloud support, like their mobile apps if you want to..... BUT, you don't have to -- they will operate 100% local with the UDI Plugin.
13 hours ago13 hr ecobee if you need accuracy due to temperature wave sensitivity. It is the most advanced and accurate thermostat I have ever used. That includes Venstar, Honeywell, and a few other brands.The features are the best. However m experiences were with non-smart stats from the past. Once set up it can operate and compensate for almost any contingency you should ever need. No remote interference with it's smarts required.
1 hour ago1 hr Somewhat of a contrarian take, but I prefer a "dumb" thermostat that doesn't act on its own, but rather, that I can control via programs.The reason is that I prefer the heat or A/C to be on/off depending on the temperature where I am - not where the thermostat is (e.g., in the hallway).Therefore, I use YoLink temperature sensors in the places where I am and control the thermostat via programs.If the TV is on, then the thermostat is under the control of the YoLink sensor by my comfy chair. If I'm in bed, then control is passed to the nightstand sensor and, since I like it cooler when I sleep, a lower temperature range is used.Always tinkering,Ross
