They found a way to install a custom firmware and working toward getting home assistant local control. Definitely something I'm following now

I looked through the GitHub details and it talks about connecting the thermostat via USB to flash it. I really only have Chromebooks at home and I'm not sure how well that would work on Linux container.

Should be a way to work around that.
