I have no problem with this. Free market. If you want Nest products buy them from the Google Store (https://store.google.com/category/home_entertainment https://store.google.com/category/home_entertainment). Amazon is not required nor should they be to sell competitors products.
- Eridrus 9y agoJust because something is legal, doesn't mean that we as consumers must like it.
- nodesocket 9y agoI'm a consumer as well. I actually just bought a Nest thermostat and the Google Store experience is just as good as Amazon. Free shipping. I don't get the complaining.
- dpark 9y agoThe big problem is the lack of interoperability that this encourages. No Amazon Prime in Chromecast. No Google Play on Amazon Fire. No integration with Alexa and Nest. The petty squabbles hurt the customers’ experience.
- nodesocket 9y agoI don't think we can call multiple billions of dollars petty squabbles. Both companies view their home automation and smart devices as critical products. You can add Apple HomePod to the mix as well.
- lostmsu 9y agoWait, there was Alexa Nest integration. Was it pulled?
- dpark 9y agoI wasn’t aware there was integration there. I’m probably just wrong about that one.
- clintonb 9y agoAlexa can control Nest, yes: https://nest.com/support/article/Nest-and-Amazon-Alexa https://nest.com/support/article/Nest-and-Amazon-Alexa. That skill would be hard to get rid of, unless Amazon explicitly forbade access to Nest APIs.
- Eridrus 9y agoAs an Amazon customer I'm tired of their beefs with the rest of the tech industry.
- bitmapbrother 9y agoShould Google also remove all of the Amazon apps from Google Play and return the Jet app every time someone searches for the Amazon app on Google Play?
