I have also recently switched from Futurehome to Homey, and I can finally add _all_ my devices and create advanced automations (flows). Honestly, I wish I had made the switch to Homey earlier! 😎

Regarding the **FH thermostat/regulator** , it seems like it’s [not currently supported](https://community.homey.app/t/futurehome-termostat-regulator/111203) in Homey.

However, there are a few workarounds you can try:

### 1. **Manual setup on the thermostat itself:**

(May not work depending on the firmware on the termostat)

- Enter the settings by holding the **(+) and (-)** buttons together for 5 seconds.
- Go to **Setting 14 (Device type)**:
  - **Value 0** = Regulator
  - **Value 1** = Thermostat

- To configure the regulator mode, go to **Setting 15 (Regulator period)** to set the cycle duration (in minutes).
  - _Example_: If you set it to 30 minutes and the regulator is set to 50%, it will be on for 15 minutes and off for 15 minutes in each cycle.

### 2. **Custom Flow in Homey:**

- You can create a flow that operates the device as a power regulator.
- ⚠ _Important:_ I strongly recommend adding a **safety mechanism** to the flow — for example, turning off the heating if the temperature exceeds 35 °C.

### 3. **Virtual Thermostat (VThermo):**

- Use a compatible temperature sensor along with the [VThermo app](https://homey.app/en-no/app/no.almli.thermostat/VThermo/).
- This lets you build a **virtual thermostat** to control the device based on your preferred temperature settings..
