Small heater on smartplug
Hello - and welcome to Hubitat!
Which specific WiFi thermostat? There are built-in/community integrations for ecobee/Nest/Honeywell WiFi thermostats. If you have one of those, there is a workaround that can be used to trigger an Amazon smart plug paired to Alexa.
No. That's not going to happen. You'll need to build a z-wave mesh network using repeaters to get z-wave signal from your house to your barn.
OK, that's what I have working now. A repeater to repeater for link to shop and it works on weak signal.
