You can use an arduino with a CC1101 radio in place of the HGI80, and get full local control - see [Evohome binding 2.0 - #154 by smar](https://community.openhab.org/t/evohome-binding-2-0/37264/154)

Note though that such solutions are not officially approved by Honeywell. However, myself and a number of users have been using it for over a year without any issues.
