Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I've used this zwave thermostat for a few years now and it's done fine. Only really makes sense if you already have a Z-wave compatible hub though.

I don't have any smart home devices yet. The replies to this question make me think it might be more complicated than I want to do yet. Doesn't seem like there's just a standalone unit that I could get.
Yeah, I don't blame you not wanting to commit to a hub if you'd only have this thermostat.
Depending on what features you want maybe you could find an offline one with those features built in. I know there's ones with schedules and presence detection that are fully offline.
Don't commit to a specific hub. You can setup HomeAssistant and use it to control most of these devices with a simple $20 zigbee or zwave USB donlge.
Absolutely, if full local control is what you want and you expect to get more devices then it's worth either reusing an old computer for home assistant or getting a home assistant yellow.
