Can you share a link of the product??

So here is the thermostat, i bought it from China I guess.

Can’t you share the link to it? There’s tons of different ones in aliexpress, some are zigbee, some are Wi-Fi, and I can’t seem to find exactly the one you shared there.
If it’s zigbee you can just hook it up directly through zigbee2mqtt:

Zigbee2MQTT

If it’s Wi-Fi, you can use the tuya binding. It’s not oficial but it works quite well. You’ll have to look in the forum for the instructions to install it, but it isn’t that hard.

Hi Pedro,
Thank you for your interest,
Here is a link of the device,

It’s a Wi-Fi thermostat.

[Pedro_Liberal]

Yep it’s Wi-Fi. Try the binding then. There’s also something called tuya2mqtt I believe but I never tried that.

[ciscomike (Mike Karantakis)]

Oh!
Is there a binding? Didn’t know… can you provide a link?
Thanks a lot

here you go:

Tuya Binding?

I just stumbled across this Tuya Binding: A quick test seems to show that it works fine. In fact, compared to tuya-mqtt, this saves me from having to go and find the localkey each time. Thanks @J-N-K this is brilliant work! I was getting a bit worried about the future of tuya-mqtt. I’m going to try transitioning my things from tuya-mqtt to this binding.

[ciscomike (Mike Karantakis)]

That’s worked just fine.
