Many thermostats that have Apple HomeKit integration can be entirely locally controlled through Home Assistant. Ecobee’s thermostats fall into this category. I use a Sensi ST55 that I got from my utility company for $1 that works the same way.
You can connect the ecobee to home assistant using HomeKit which runs local. I’ve got a nest and google once got rid of the api over a year before having a replacement ready so anything local is no go with them.

Yes, I chose a wide term on purpose. I’m curious to see what all people use.
I’m currently using an ecobee, but want to a selfhosted server rather than third party for HVAC.
