I’m still not sure. I’ve been reading the manual and other threads and although it supports remote access (so obviously some sort of remote service involved), it could just act as a sort of proxy. At this store they seem to reinforce it and also in this discussion.
Not really, but there are already 2 bindings on OpenHab that seem to work locally. The one I mentioned before and this for their older products. I think the API is not public but someone must have reverse engineer it.
I noticed and actually it triggers the system designer in me that they chose to do it this, but they must have their reasons.
They do have other products to extend the solution to a multizone one using multi wireless (ZigBee) thermostats and Thermostatic valves. I’m currently considering weather I should get this one for know (cheaper) and consider extending it in the future or just bite the bullet and get the beginning of a multi zone system.
Do you have any thoughts on the energy saving potential of multi zone systems?
