I’m a bit out of my depth here and the plumber doesn’t know either. I have a combi boiler with OpenTherm support. What thermostat/controller should I get if I am a typical Mastodon user, i.e. don’t want to use some proprietary app, someone else’s cloud, or pay a subscription for my own hardware?

@Gargron Here's a great thread on that:
@Gargron imo, browse Zigbee2MQTT's support list and pick the one with the highest amount of community support. don't bother with anything that has an app, just work on bare metal zigbee. easy to route, and easy to connect into homeassistant.
@Gargron
The first gen Drayton Wiser stuff is capable of running over the LAN with their app, and has also been widely reverse engineered - I poke mine with an assortment of manky python scripts. They're onto 2nd gen now I believe which I know nothing about, but might be worth researching?
