Anyone in Europe looking for an alternative might want to check out Tado

Netatmo as well if I recall

We have a Tado system, not the current generation but the one before. It was easy to self-install and configure and has never given us any trouble. There are a couple UX quirks, such as not having a confirm dialog after you touch the Shut Down All or Max Out the Heat buttons, but overall it's one of the rare electronic gadgets that has led to no buyer's remorse.

Do they integrate with Home Assistant?

Yes

You can also control locally (i.e. without internet connection) using homekit integration.

Been working fine for me for a couple of years.
