I’ve been exploring ways to upgrade my home’s heating system by replacing traditional thermostats with smart ones. My current setup uses two-wire, battery-powered thermostats controlling a whole-house radiant-floor heating system. While functional, these thermostats lack the convenience and automation I’d love to incorporate.
The goal is to replace these with smart thermostats that can be scheduled and integrated into my openHAB setup. I’ve come across the Fast-Stat Common Maker, but I’m unsure about its cost-effectiveness and whether it can serve multiple thermostats. I’d love to hear from others who’ve successfully implemented similar upgrades—what devices worked well, and any tips on wiring or integration challenges?
This project feels like a stepping stone towards a more connected home, and I’m excited to dive deeper into the possibilities smart thermostats offer. If anyone has recommendations or experiences to share, I’d be grateful to learn more!
