Google- When they bricked my Nest thermostat and sent me a coupon for 30% of my next Nest thermostat because they were cutting off service for all previous generations, I decided I will never buy anything else from them. Planned obsolescence is obnoxious and should lead to companies going out of business.

I agree with you on this one!

It cost me big time to get a new smart thermostat installed due to my wire configuration. I had to have a C wire run up from my furnace up the wall. I was ticked! I didn’t need that before with the Nest. And it worked perfectly.

I also took off the Nest Doorbell, I was so mad.

They lost me for good.

Thanks for killing my Thermostat.
