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 dunno? Although this was inevitable once Google borged Nest, I rejected the “you must now convert your Nest account to a shitborg account” prompts and my Nest gen2 is still quite happily talking to my Nest app?

    No doubt it will eventually die, but for now it’s unaffected. Works fine.

    Fuck Google. Sideways. With a wire brush. Despicable vultures.
