Google is ending support for 1st and 2nd gen Nest thermostats this October. They’ll still function—but without updates or cloud features, they could become security risks. Software shouldn’t decide when your hardware dies.

@iFixit worst thermostat I've ever owned. near-impossible to integrate with once google acquired them. app was awful. glad to see the back of it. Tado isn't perfect (and Nest's industrial design is nicer admittedly) but miles better.
