I swore-off Nest entirely when they shut down Nest API access to anyone but themselves. That killed it for me because I wanted to control my HVAC thermostat from my PC and without firing up Chrome or Bluestacks. I also wanted to log my own long-term thermostat and front door lock history as the Nest app only shows 10 days tops, without CSV export either (why?! That’s a horrible artificial limitation!) The second thing was seeing Google continue to somehow justify Nest Cameras’ lack of local storage as somehow being a good thing (check the mod posts on the Nest support forums - it’s laughable). That’s idiocy. My house’s coax cable conduit is exposed where it enters the house - it’s trivial to sneak-around the perimeter and snip the coax with a pair of kitchen scissors and then all of my Nest cameras are useless. Why can’t they be configured to save to my LAN’s NAS as a failover? It sucks for me that the decision to shut down external access to the Nest API was made literally days after I dropped over $1500 on Nest kit - but since then I haven’t bought any more - I’ll be transitioning over to other brands that respect me as a consumer, instead of locking me in to their ecosystem of products designed around the demonstrably false assumption that a home’s internet connection is 100% available.
