I would like to replace it with one that connects to HA. First, is this a good idea since I'm in an apartment? I'll obviously keep the current one, and put it back before leaving. Second, what's a good one that is either open source or at least non internet based (but still works on HA)?

Thanks!

There is a z-wave version of that thermostat with the same form factor and clicks right into the same bracket: https://a.co/d/03PLsNtX I have it and it works as you’d expect.

Hmm okay. I've got ZigBee, maybe I'll start with z-wave too

I’m pretty sure Honeywell has a WiFi version as well. The Lyric T6 i think. It also uses the same bracket and if you bring it in to HA with the HomeKit integration you can block it’s access to the internet and it is fully local and considered offline to Honeywell

This is what I did. Added Z-wave radio for this. The thermostat works fine.
