Appliance Repair

This is where we discuss how to repair appliances, large and small. We are not waiting for #right2repair law to be enacted. The civil disobedient practice of repairing instead of wasting and re-buying is welcome here. I will also turn a blind eye toward “piracy” of manufacturer service manuals that are otherwise unavailable to the general public.

Hey yall

Had to get an all new furnace and heat pump installed. I opted for the Honewell thermostat. I don't want this thing on my wifi. I don't need to have it connected right?

Well, look, the thing has, somewhere, an io with a 'stop' and 'go' signal for each of its functions, right?

How hard would it be to copy those amd do a home made foss version off aliexpress? Maybe even put in multiple sensors and do some fanxy math?
