I'm done buying Google Nest products


Thermostats are not phones.

The green options and money-saving bits are pretty cool, and I like how it can set temperatures higher or lower when the house is empty. It will still work if I haul myself up those stairs where I can touch it, but what I need (really, what many disabled people need) is going away, and I won't be able to control it through an app on my phone. It worked fine, even though it never once got any sort of wild electronic update because mercury switches and thermocouples don't need them.
