Hi Victor,
As spezialist eluded, we can work with some 3rd party sensors. The easiest of those use dry contacts. I would assume that's not what you're looking for with a thermostat so the other options to monitor them directly would be to use either a 0-5 volt connection or a 4-20 mA connection. You'd need to know the capabilities of the sensors or, if you've not yet purchased them, you'd want to consider these communications options if you want to integrate them to the NetBotz appliance.
On a side note, if you have sensors that are SNMP or Modbus compatible, you may also want to consider monitoring them directly through DCE.
Thanks,
Steve.

Dear Victor Juarez Velazquez,
The answer to this question depends on the 3rd party sensor (thermostat in your case).
Please specify which model and type of thermostat you want to connect to the NetBotz-570?
With respect.
