Absolutely, if full local control is what you want and you expect to get more devices then it’s worth either reusing an old computer for home assistant or getting a home assistant yellow.
Yeah, I don’t blame you not wanting to commit to a hub if you’d only have this thermostat.
Depending on what features you want maybe you could find an offline one with those features built in. I know there’s ones with schedules and presence detection that are fully offline.

Lawyer, salesman, CEO, politician, or advertising exec would all be way better examples of dishonest professions.
