    Nest has said these products will continue to work as “dumb” thermostats. You can walk up to them and turn the temp up and down. You just can’t access them from your phone or the web anymore.

    It’s still ridiculous, but at least it’s as good as a non-smart thermostat.

    Honestly I wish Google had never have been allowed to buy Nest. They ruin everything they touch.

      Ahh I was worried they would lose functionality completely so that’s better than nothing, but also not what people originally paid for when they bought these products.

      Google sure does love to kill projects don’t they?
