I was able to locate documentation from others who decoded the devices already. In truth, they are very simple as they only send 1 or 2 packets. Your thermostat presumably sends all kinds of info out and each packet could contain very different data. I may go back to my old code first and give it one more run since it really just needs ESP8266 and RFM69 compatibility added to it. That should be easier than porting the decode algorithm to either MySensors or another project. My original goal was to simply use OpenMQTTGateway with my added protocols and decoders. That didn't work well, so I've made no real progress.

Hello. Most of the RFM69 libs work with esp8266. I use mysensors with rfm69 and esp, or, radiohead and lowpowerlab. work too.

MySensors supports creating an esp8266-based gateway with a rfm69 radio. Seems like you need the latest development version. More information is available in http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2278/esp8266-gateway-and-sensor-node-not-talking-noobie/

I looked at your recommendations when provided, but was busy with other things so forgot to reply. I now have 3 systems of sensors reporting to the Uno (Blueline power meter reader, Acurite 5n1 weather station, Acurite 592TX temperature sensors (1 currently, but up to 3 channels))and will be adding 1 or more local sensors to it as well (barometric pressure currently, but probably temperature also at a minimum). I have all of this sending data to the RPi via MQTT and am working on optimizing the location for the Uno for best reception/least packet loss. I'm also planning on tracking UPS performance as well as RPi CPU/memory. That being said, I looked into emoncms again this morning and it appears that the data is stored on the cloud somewhere. If so, that's not ideal due to reasons I originally posted. I thought this would be the option I would utilize until I saw that. I've looked at Grafana/influxdb and they look great, but it will take more effort to figure them out. I decided against freeboard since I specificially want plots and not gauges. I considered using rrdtools, but it looks like it's only capable of storing at a single frequency and then purges anything over a certain age (maintains a certain database size and loops to overwrite the oldest data next). There's a number of tutorials/guides, but I haven't found one that's a close enough match to proceed. I have a working HA server at the moment, so I'm leery of installing too much and risk corrupting things. When I do proceed, I'll certainly back up the SD first!
