Is it possible to implement Z-Wave/non-WiFi Thermostat support via Homeassistant?

Is it possible for someone to make a Homeassistant integration that interfaces with your API to connect a Honeywell Z-Wave thermostat? If not, is there a possibility that Flair develops this in the future (either adding the API endpoints necessary, or just developing the integration themselves)

I tried buying an X2S WiFi thermostat which supposedly supports Matter, but it apparently requires an app, account, and geolocation to even connect it to my network and I don't trust that.

    Hi Kevin Zhu,

    I see that your Honeywell T6 is already integrated into your Flair home.

    Are you familiar with the Home Assistant/Flair integration developed by Robert Drinovac?  It was not developed, has not been tested, and is not officially supported by Flair, but there are lots of users and a pretty active user community.  You can check it out at https://github.com/RobertD502/home-assistant-flair

    I recommend that you check this out, and if you have any further questions, you can post them here or email our support team directly - support@flair.co 

    Thanks for being a valued Flair customer.

    Regards,

    The Flair Team

    Can the home assistant flair integration integrate HA occupancy sensors?

    Evan Adams the Occupancy sensor in the flair puck is not exposed using https://github.com/RobertD502/home-assistant-flair. I plan on poking at the API to see if its there and just not exposed or if its reserved for Flair internal when I get a chance.

    However I just wrote this https://github.com/dhruvb14/smart-thermostat-with-vents which I use in conjunction with the above to control my entire system. It's been running my home 100% for last 3 weeks and its been working great.

    Any HomeAssistant sensors can be used and any thermostat which is exposed in HA can be used. 

    My configuration is using 2 Ecobees running locally not using the cloud api via HomeKit integration in HA and 6 Flair vents.

    Full disclosure it was written with AI but I have been a software engineer for 15 years at this point and implemented massive testing including e2e testing suite along with safety to protect the HVAC system and have a fully built out docs section in the repo


    Would love feedback
