Does anyone know of the devices will work even locally? That would provide some value, though of course most of the value is in remote notifications and status availability.
Separately, is there any chance that folks here might be able to come up with something like Rebble to give these devices life into the future? I have a lot of sensors and hate to think this will go completely to waste!
UPDATE: If these will still run locally (like they can now when my wifi is down), then I'd probably buy a HomePod Mini and train it on the Nest's alarm sound for use with the Sound Detection feature. [1] I first heard of this feature at an Apple presentation at the CSUN Assistive Technology conference and thought it sounded really useful.
Although it wouldn't let me know what door/window was opened, it would at least send an alert to my phone so that I would know to look into things further.
