The main thing slowing down adoption of open source smart thermostats is that people don't know they exist.
The #HestiaPi has is about the same price as the Google Nest was, and having been around for 5 years, we've already outlived most of Google's products!
If you like the idea of having technology that isn't run by a mega-corp, isn't harvesting your data, doesn't require their cloud to operate and doesn't get discontinued, please spread the word about HestiaPi.
We are so unstoppable, neither the founder nor myself could shut it down even if we wanted to! That's what open source brings to the table!
