Another noob question: see the attached image of my thermostat. Would it be possible to switch it for a smart one? What would I have to check? If it is possible, what would you recommend? If is don't want any 3rd party app or account?

An ESP8266 running ESPHome and a relay would work here. It's basically on or off. Then you could pull temperature information in from multiple temp sensors around your home.

I do something similar for some solar air heaters I built.
