Cheapest Tstat for C4

[eggzlot]

 I use those paintable wall sensors/discs and relocate all t-stats to the basement.  Just did a rennovation project and added 2 new zones and 1 tstat broke in construction so I need 3 new ones (GC is going way above and beyond so I am paying to replace on my own dime).  Would rather not shell out $350 or whatever for a C4 one because that is 1,000+ on TStats.  is there a cheaper option?  I just want to treat it like a normal any old tstat - locked in mechanical room, just need to turn heat/ac on/off, set basic programs, etc.  Any other options?

 

I see a few used older C4 tstats on Ebay so will watch those auctions (some have a buy it now option) but in the meantime if there was a quicker option to procure sooner I am sure my HVAC guy would appreciate it.  I am ok paying more for a new one but $300+ per seems high and wondering if I could do better.  Ecobee3 lite is $170 on Amazon maybe that is the better option?

Ecobee3 lite works. But you can't use wired remote temp sensors. You have to use wireless. Driver is free. I can quote you ecobee 3 lites.
