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.

Yeah I had those wemo switches in my old house and their servers were unreliable as fuck all the time (app was straight garbage). I'm not even surprised they finally pulled the plug. They're on my shit list forever now.

It costs more but I went hue and couldn't be happier. Spent too many years complaining about how it was expensive but God damn if they don't just work and Phillips I trust far more to not just shut shit down (and even if they did, I can still make them work since it's not proprietary).
