Let's get to the real questions.
1. Will "old" nest cameras ever be FULLY supported in the Home app? Meaning, scrubbing live continuous video, saving clips, time lapse support, zone creation and management, etc.. (see the giant list of unsupported features below if you have questions)
2. If your grand plan is to sunset the Nest app, when should we expect to see the GIGANTIC list of missing features enumerated above to appear 1:1 in the Home app and website?
3. Since the Nest app and website are the ONLY fully functional places to operate "nest" cameras, will the newer "Nest" cameras ever been supported in the current Nest app?
Let me be clear. A camera based security system without the ability to scrub previous footage and save clips is COMPLETELY USELESS. Prioritize those features, NOW.
As for other features. Here is a semi-comprehensive list of ALL the KEY NEST features that the Home app & Home website are missing. Time to start updating us on the progress on ALL of these items.
