Can someone explain for those of us unfamiliar with the many Google products and services: do they "hear" us in the sense that they will allow users to run their own servers for these IoT things, or will they keep users locked in, and will merely support some platform for a little longer?
- taormina 7y agoI think definitely not #1 (make open) and almost certainly #2 (keep alive for now). This is a direct response to the entire Nest integration ecosystem going "what?!" after basically being told they were getting shut off.
