To those who know the product, is if possible to extend the connected functionnalities with selfhosting?

You're probably better off just getting something that connects your HVAC system to home assistant locally, and when you've done that it's pretty much future proof for whatever integration you decide to use in the future. With phones and smartwatches and automations you don't really need a physical device on your wall, really.

Agreed... some Nest competitor thermostats will function without the wifi connection.
