A product like this is a sign of internal rot. It's not bad enough to be a clear swansong for whatever remains of Nest, but it's a bad omen for Google's (non-pixel phone) product development. I have been in the trenches at a company that made a startup acquisition, then tried to take the startup's tech and integrate it with their own IP to make a new product. I got the hell out before I could be blamed for the imminent failure. It wasn't pretty.
