This is one of the reasons I am working on an enclosure-compatible open-source version of the 2nd gen Nest thermostat. It reuses the enclosure, encoder ring, display, and mounts of the Nest but replaces the "thinking" part with an open-source PCB that can interact with Home Assistant. Nest has been pretty-badly supported in Home Assistant for over a year anyway, missing important connected features.

I've got the faceplate PCB done and working; the rotary encoder and ring working; and the display working but with terrible code with a low refresh rate.

I need to ship at the end of October to beat the retirement date. Plans to get some regular development report-outs and pre-orders are coming quite soon.

It's open source, and uses ESP32-C6 so it can be Wifi, BLE, or Zigbee, whatever software you intend to load onto it.

Very close to having one! I've been working on getting a blog published and a store to pre-order the finished product. I'll reply back here with the link when it's ready.

You’re bad at marketing. This was your chance to capture a ton of users. Make a google form that just takes people’s emails for you to notify us when it’s ready. Because I’m not going to remember to track you down at some unknown time in the future.
