That sets off my spidey sense.
It shouldn’t. My electric company offers rebates and discounts on any approved smart thermostat, and my heat isn’t even through them. My Honeywell one ended up costing me $50 because of the rebate.
It’s a state-wide thing for participating utility providers, at lest here. They had about 20 models on the shared store (no markup as far as I could tell, but not really a deal either) or provided a list of models that would qualify which contained dozens upon dozens of models.
It’s not just that one single one that has rebates/discounts. That would be silly because those are some of the most expensive.
I hope you went investigating and found a good discount on a smart thermostat for yourself as well.
I ended up building one from relays and a DHT22 that I run from NodeRed.
