Comment on What is your self-hosting setup for home thermostat?

I’ve been watching pm2.5 in my house, and the HVAC filter does a pretty good job of keeping it down if I run the fan, but that fan takes a lot of energy, and I’d like to turn it off when the air is pretty clean.

I believe so, my system is baseboard so I didn’t use a fan. There is a fan control option on the device. The instructions say it can do auto, on, of, circ.

TY. Looks like the T6 is pro-only. Googling around, it looks like ventilation control may be one of the things that separate their pro-level T6/T10 from their DIY-level T5/T9. That’s disappointing.

Is it? I guess I don’t know the difference… I installed mine myself but my system is also dead simple - only 2 wires. My first thermostat was just a bi-metallic strip. 😀
