Crowd Supply HestiaPi Touch

Crowd Supply HestiaPi Touch is a completely open-source smart home thermostat, controlled by a Raspberry Pi Zero W, with an emphasis on the user's privacy. The HestiaPi Touch can monitor a home's temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure. Users can control their heating, ventilation, air conditioning, hot water, and more, using the easy-to-use touchscreen interface or from anywhere they have an Internet connection. As all data is collected, stored, and processed inside the HestiaPi Touch, no third party has access to your information.

HestiaPi Touch is based on the openHAB platform. The platform's easy-to-use web and mobile interface controls HestiaPi. OpenHAB also is compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, so you can easily add HestiaPi to your existing ecosystem.

Options

The HestiaPi Touch is available with either US or EU power supply input voltage options (US: 24V AC, EU: 100VAC to 240VAC). The US option supports the C (common) wire in HVAC systems. Even if you live in the US, you may live in a house that does not support the C-wire, so make sure to check which is the right option for you.
