I've got a Netatmo one. Not the latest and greatest but very easy to install with lots of different installation options (I replaced a dumb thermostat with it, others seemed a lot more complex if you wanted to do that as they need wiring to power as well) and very reliable.
HA integration is good through the Netatmo API or Homekit.

Anyone played around with a Shelly Plus Plug?
Thinking of getting one to monitor the power usage of my home office. Everything runs off one plug (2 gang extension with one into a UPS and then distributed from there, another for stuff that doesn't need to be on the UPS). Total load is rarely >2A.
Seems to be a well thought of brand that doesn't tie you into their own private cloud. I'd be looking to get the data into Prometheus to store/graph - there seem to be lots of exporters already.

I haven't used those but I have some Local Bytes smart plugs that do what they say on the tin. They will talk to things like Home Assistant or you can talk mqtt etc

I've got a "Shelly Plug S Gen 3" on my washing machine and connected to Home Assistant. Also easy to set up an automation to tell me when it's finished.
Yeah, as basic as it gets. Heat pump is a way off, need to get the house up to scratch thermally first which is probably not far off 10 years away realistically.
@jellybaby because the door is always open so the cat can get to 'his' bed of course.
I'm not sure I'm sold on having individual TRVs though I realise that's the major benefit of that kind of system. Maybe I just need a slightly better dumb thermostat with a weekend programme.
