Thermostat support for Evaporative Cooling (Swamp Cooler)

Wishlist
1

It would be great if the Thermostat would work with controlling an Evaporative (EVAP)/Swamp Cooler for us users in arid climates where central A/C isn’t the norm for cooling. All the houses I’ve lived in in Arizona and Colorado have had EVAP coolers instead of central A/C. Our current home has 2 wall controllers, a thermostat for the furnace heat in the winter and separate unit that controls the fan speed, temperature, and draining of the EVAP Cooler for cooling in the summer. Combining these 2 into 1 would be fantastic!

Smart Evaporative Cooler Thermostat

I’m a huge Wyze fan and have many of their products. And I like the Wyze thermostat. But I live in the desert. And like many of us in the southwestern U.S. and other arid parts of the world, I have an evaporative cooling system (also known as a swamp cooler). To the best of my understanding, the Wyze smart thermostat does not work with the millions of these systems installed around the world. Not only that, I know of exactly ZERO other manufacturers out there that provide a smart thermostat for evaporative coolers. I’d love it if Wyze would update their smart thermostat for use with these systems. It seems like a wide open market for them as well. Thanks!
