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.

    No it isn’t. I have one of these, the only loss of function is remote internet settings, which was a stupid feature. It was an escalator, it’s now become stairs. It still works fine as a thermostat, except Communist countries no longer know my house temperature.

    Amazing how tech heads focus on minor shit like this with the long list of problems currently facing Fascist America.
