Another noob question: see the attached image of my thermostat. Would it be possible to switch it for a smart one? What would I have to check? If it is possible, what would you recommend? If is don't want any 3rd party app or account?

Where do you live? What type of unit do you have?
I just got the Meross Smart thermostat running. (The installer literally just left 10 minutes ago.) I had to call an HVAC person to help me install it because I didn't have the wiring setup properly for a wifi thermostat.
Maybe call an HVAC company and tell them you want to install a smart thermostat, but you're unsure if your system is compatible. (Maybe they can do some HVAC maintenance while they're in there too.)
