Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats (www.techspot.com)

Google announced the end of support for early Nest Thermostats in a support document earlier this year that largely flew under the radar. As of October 25, first and second generation units released in 2011 and 2012, respectively, will be unpaired and removed from the Google Nest or Google Home app.

Users will no longer be able to control their thermostats remotely via their smartphone, receive notifications, or change settings from a mobile device. End-of-support also disables third-party assistants and other cloud-based features including multi-device Eco mode and Nest Protect connectivity.

I got a Sensi thermostat 5 years ago. Very happy. Only trick is it doesn't work cut off from the internet, not even on the LAN. But you can still walk up and punch buttons. (Tested this last week. Might be a way around this.)

The thermostats should still function based on the blurb. They're just no longer connected to the Internet. So you can't change anything or set any automations that rely on a network connection.
