Thermostate with Ethernet

[felixrosbergen]

Hi All,


Anybody familiar with this product:
Ethernet Themostat

It appears to have Ethernet / TCP/IP control....

Does this offer potential for HA?

They look a little pricey. . . . over 1k is pretty steep!

Hadn't even looked at the price yet... <_<

Remember a thermostat is little more then a timer, temp sensor and relays. Instead of a single really expensive thermostat you can put an inexpensive sensor in many areas and use logic to control the HVAC system. You can get pretty creative and come in the same if not lower cost, however you would have a labor investment.

EDIT:
Now with a lakehouse or remote cabin this thing could be very cool.

Yikes. It looks alarmingly like the Proliphix IP thermostat series -- perhaps an OEM arrangement?

I have the Proliphix residential models. They work well locally and remotely.

They do not HA-integrate well because of a lack (AFAIK) of broad support, drivers, etc. For my purposes I handle the integration with some PHP code. It's not difficult, and these thermostats have a simple and robust interface.

The price for these ought to be more like $250-300.

Odd too, my HVAC controller (inherited with the house) is an EWC model.

If you look at their network/cloud diagram they show the proliphix.com server

so it must be a proliphix or sister device

For that amount you can buy HomeSeer which has a web interface, a Z-Wave interface, and the new Intermatic InTouch tstat.

CQC has a Proliphix driver.
