    Ecobee also requires chrome, but had a work around. Not sure if it’ll work here, but ecobee said to hit the 3 dot menu and choose open in app after the login failed and that logged you in.

      Wait, what exactly does Ecobee require chrome for? I was looking to replace my Nest thermostat with an Ecobee.

        Logging in via the app. It launches the browser. If using Firefox you have to do the extra step I mentioned.

        Here’s the screen.

            It’s really not bad. Sign in, goes to a page that just says not found. 3 dot>open in app and you’re in.

              If I can’t control something 100% local, I don’t buy it. If it requires an online account in any way, it’s trash.

                I don’t recall if it was mandatory during setup or not. I can control it locally when the internet is down, at least from the wall, I don’t think the app would work. But again, I wanted the remote features so I didn’t even try to set it up without an account.

                Home assistant may work as well, but I don’t use it.

          Firefox gives me a popup (for YouTube at least). I think this might be outdated.
