> The only thing I'm not happy with is needing to use a very powerful and versatile radio like the HackRF for something as simple as a boiler on/off switch. But I'd rather use something overkill and have it work than spend ages trying to force smaller radios to do my bidding.

All the apartments I lived in had basic thermostats; and I even rewired and replaced one of them.

What was blocking Videah from buying an off-the-shelf thermostat?



I’ve got a similar problem, and plan to replace the thermostat with a Shelly relay which can be toggled by home assistant’s events based on the TRVs in each room.

Then the boiler is basically controlled by the relay.
