While an interesting idea, that project wants what amounts to the cost of a new thermostat in exchange for a kickstarter project. Might as well just buy a new thermostat.

Omg, an sustainable, repairable, and open source project costs the same as a closed source, non repairable, locked down option … Those are *totally the same thing!
