Probably not, but at the time Google had a better reputation than it does today and I’m guessing Tony had gotten bored by that point. I don’t have firsthand knowledge regarding the timeline, but I believe the entire product concept for nest required an internet connection and internet server dependencies, didn’t it? Like a fallback mode makes sense and I’m pretty sure there was one, but a lot of the capabilities they were targeting needed internet capabilities. For example could you control the thermostat with your phone only after the acquisition? I think that happened before, and I think it was a foundational part of the concept?
