   No plans to tackle this at the moment, but looks like they have a REST api. Shoot me an email (check my profile) and I'll let you know if I pursue.

   OK. But still don't throw that former employee under the bus. Your attitude should always remain 'there is room for improvement' and not 'this sucks'. One thing to keep in mind is that technology at almost every com

   One best practice is to RESPECT the people who built the systems that are already in place. Think about it, they were able to achieve so much financial success that they were able to hire the best and brightest: YOU So, respectfully impleme

   AWS can do this I think but you need to use an ELB (elastic load balancer) to handle the ipv6 connection to the internet and use ipv4 between the ELB and your EC2 servers. Someone please chime in if I have this wrong.

    I was talking about a switch for the HVAC fan, not the nest itself. With the nest you have to fiddle through a bunch of screens to turn the fan on and off. It is a personal pain point of mine.

    If your next iteration includes a physical switch to put the fan in 'always on' mode, it will already be superior to the Nest.
