No idea about Honeyhell stuff, but last time I was stuck with something that needed wifi to work, I bought a cheap used router, made an access point just for that device, and never connected the router to the internet.

right now it's on a vlan but I have it isolated. I refuse to believe it's not going to work without wifi. I'm just going to disable the wifi and see. My old Trane from 1987 didn't have this issue. Old things truly were better ;)
You may be able to run a wire out to an outdoor thermometer so your thermostat can just read the temperature outside.
