I’m not sure the best way to ask or if there is a better community to post…

I’m hoping to use my home server to control my home thermostat but not sure where to start.

Does anyone use Home Assistant for this? Another software?

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to ask about hardware here, but are there things to be aware of in making sure that a wifi thermostat is best suited for the job?

    Each room has one ZigBee thermometer and thermovalves for the heaters. Home Assistant with an automation open and closes them based on the thermometers.

    Also in HA, I have a schedule for the “comfort” temperature so that the boiler can be turned on and off accordingly.

    See https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=homeautomation%3Aheating for the detailed setup.
