I’ve been using a “high endurance” card. These are the only ones SanDisk will do their guarantee for if you use them in a Pi.

This is what you get through HomeKit, there’s a lot more from the cloud but if you just want to control or monitor the temperature it’s sufficient:

The Tado works fine with Home Assistant. You can use the cloud interface or you can use HomeKit if you want to control it locally.

In my experience the Tado works really well, as it controls the boiler flow temperature rather than being just on/off when it reaches temperature. Just make sure you connect it for EMS - the instructions if you tell it you’re replacing an old thermostat sometimes say to connect it up with the relay input instead.

(Edit: AFAIK it doesn’t use ZigBee so the ZBDongle is irrelevant)

I run it on a Raspberry Pi 4 (I happened to have a spare one, also BUY EUROPEAN and all that). There’s a dedicated image for it.

Also of note is that the Tado integration broke last month, and is fixed in this update. I’m surprised it didn’t get a mention.

I have something similar, but I use Minimalistic Area Card

Which one is it?

I originally installed it here to give me a bit more control over my solar/batteries - doing some calculations on how much to charge and at what rate overnight. Then I added charging up during free electricity times. Then saving sessions came along. Then I decided Predbat might be better than my Barbie calculations, so I got that set up.

In the meantime I ended up adding any device I could to it.

Have fun!
