"No Wi-Fi, no heating" -- this makes no sense to me. I had a Nest and when the wireless network went away, it did the sensible thing and maintained its current schedule. The only thing it lost was remote control/monitoring and the ability to talk to Nest Protects.
This is not to say that Nest doesn't have problems, but there's no way I'd have allowed it in my home if an Internet outage meant freezing my family.
- jmspring 11y agoJust from January - for some reason it was unable to call home, temperatures plummeted. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/14/fashion/nest-thermostat-glitch-battery-dies-software-freeze.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/14/fashion/nest-thermostat-gl...
- Klathmon 11y agoThat wasn't because it couldn't "call home", that was because an update caused a bug on the nest to lock up. It might not be any "better" of an excuse, but it's not the same thing as "not being able to call home"
- zippergz 11y agoAgreed. There are lots of legitimate problems with smart home devices. These arguments are weakened by throwing out things that are completely false.
