stock here: Personal Story here, last fall, shortly before leaving for Hawaii, Google had announced that their Nest thermostats would no longer be supported, but beyond that they were also going to scuttle their operation. I had 3 and they were about $300 each bought 10 years ago.
They had a new version, which I knew for sure, would be more spying, manipulation, control, even damage. So I jumped ship, just like I am going to jump ship from Godaddy as a horrible company. I switched to Honeywell, which was costly and time consuming. Eff you all the way to hell Google.
See story below….there is an “opt out” but most people won’t discover that.
