Do the thermostats have cameras in them?

  They have occupancy sensors (not cameras), but those can still be used for surveillance.

    Iam not sure. That means that it has to log every triggered sensor. I only have nest protect (stove heating) with occupancy sensor/pathlight and I really dont think it will record motion events nor submit them later (while connected). Could be wrong.

      The occupancy sensors include wifi and bluetooth.

      For nest thermostats, they advertise that their cloud based algorithm uses your phone location and occupancy sensor data to switch between “home” and “away” set points, so they have to be sending the sensor readings to the cloud. From there I can’t understand why they wouldn’t log those.
