(ch)own your smart home thermostat - if you don’t have root access, someone else does.

HestiaPi Touch is a completely open source smart thermostat for your home. With it, you can monitor your home’s temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure, and control your heating, ventilation, air conditioning, hot water and more from anywhere you have an Internet connection. You can do all this securely and with the confidence your private data is still private. HestiaPi Touch is compatible with many devices and home automation systems and can serve as a central point of control that ties them together in your home.
