Nest Thermostat going offline.

It’s bogus that Google is disconnecting us from WiFi so that we can no longer control our thermostats remotely. This forced obsolescence is going to cost me $450 if I want to upgrade my three thermostats. I suggest that all affected users switch to Ecobee or other thermostats. Boycott Google Nest!

I can't adjust my thermostat at all  There's no Manual options! I don't want to pay for an upgrade either.

I'm never buying anything that's connected to a company's server ever again.
If I can't control it from my own home or self-hosted server I'm not buying it.
I rather have a dumb thermostat from the get-go than one that gets dumbed down by the company that made it at their will.

Very well said. Thanks!
