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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

They're all generally fine. WiFi thermostats open up more security holes than the others because they are designed to be chatty. I have an ecobee WiFi thermostat that's isolated to only talking to HA locally using the HomeKit integration, which is fine, but I can't say I'd recommend it.
When I set up my thermostat the ZigBee/Z-Wave options were quite frankly ugly and had limited wiring compatibility. Nowadays there's a bunch more options on the market - you should be fine finding what you need anywhere.
ZigBee/Z-Wave/Thread are all pretty comparable, so I'd go with whatever you already have on your network - me personally I'm all in on ZigBee right now so I'd probably get one of those.
If you're undecided, HA newest official hardware supports ZigBee & Thread so I'd go with one of those.
