- Google will no longer support Nest 1st and 2nd gen thermostats via the Nest or Home apps.
- Local operation remains, but remote control via apps or APIs will be discontinued.
- Hubitat integration may not work unless a workaround is found.
- Consider switching to locally controlled Zigbee/Z-Wave or Ecobee thermostats.
- Nest Gen 4 (2020+) supports Matter for local control, but availability varies by region.
- Planned obsolescence and cloud dependency are concerns with Google/Nest products.
- Ecobee thermostats offer local control via Home Assistant, ensuring future reliability.
- Google's $150 offer for Gen 4 thermostats may not guarantee long-term support.
- Go Control Z-Wave thermostat is a Hubitat-native alternative without cloud dependency.
- Google's past actions (e.g., Nest Secure, Protect) suggest future EOL risks for Nest products.
