This is deeply annoying, not least of all because the hardware is evergreen and still works. It also is being replaced by hardware that is objectively worse: bigger, uglier, and single purpose. (I really like the combo motion sensor and door sensor from Nest.)
Why on earth Google can't rewrite the Nest Secure firmware to use ADT, I do not understand. Or why they can't persist support for it indefinitely. I understand they didn't want to migrate it's functionality into the Google Home app, which is the driving force behind this, since they're EOLing the Nest app, but this is inducing an insane amount of completely unnecessary e-waste.
Worse, there's no communication on if my Nest door locks will work with the new system. And I frankly really like how small the Nest Guard is. The ADT new hub looms like some monstrous obelisk.
How do you work for years and still produce a new line of products this much worse than what you're replacing?
