    My issue is home insurance and HVAC regulation in Canada. I don’t know what is legal and what isn’t as far as HVAC system modifications go, given that I’m not a licensed HVAC technician. Doing my own home automation mods badly could damage or destroy either my heat pump or furnace, resulting in thousands of dollars in repair bills. Or it could jeopardize my home insurance in case of a fire and result in even greater financial losses, even if my modifications were only tangentially related to the cause of the fire.

      Understood, the manufacturer may have a firmware update to solve the issue you mentioned

        That’s a good point. I should look into that. It does have the ability to connect to the thermostat with an app but I never tried that.
