Who deals with these things and can set me up if possible would that be an electrician? Any suggestions for someone who maybe specializes in such things? I know the nest won’t work wondering if I have other options.. thanks..

I guess my question is why wouldn't it work?
I installed one at my cottage and it works fine. Just need to make sure you have a power wire going to the thermostat. If you don't than I have found that they do sell a power adaptor that you plug into the wall instead.
I have a Honeywell that works just like any other thermostat just has an app. Its an older one but does everything I need it to do.
