Thermostatless
Version 1 · Basic

The thermostat without the thermostat.

Thermostatless is an HVAC smart control module that wires straight into your air handler and replaces the wall thermostat with your phone, your laptop, or any browser. Control heat, fan, and schedules from anywhere — no panel on the wall, no batteries to change, no gateway hub to babysit.

What you get

Thermostatless replaces a conventional 24V thermostat for single-stage heat + fan systems. The module sits next to the air handler, switches the relays, reads room temperature, and streams state to every client in real time.

WiFi and Bluetooth in one module

Out of the box, every Thermostatless module talks to your home WiFi and exposes a Bluetooth fallback for direct control when the internet is down.

Same dashboard, every device

A single React Native app for iOS and Android plus a web dashboard for any browser. Real-time updates over the same channel for everyone in the house.

Scheduling and hold modes

Set weekly schedules with separate heat and cool setpoints. Hold pauses the schedule for parties, sick days, or vacations until you cancel.

Condensate-safety float input

A dedicated Float In / Float Out terminal pair lets you wire a standard condensate overflow float switch. The module shuts the call for cool when the pan fills.

Direct temperature sensing

Wires a 10k NTC thermistor straight into the Temp +/- terminals. No companion sensor on the wall, no batteries, no extra mesh.

No cloud lock-in

The module is open-source firmware on top of an ESP32-S3. Run the included backend on your hardware, or use the hosted Firebase deploy. The hardware is yours.
