Nah Nest was made by an ex Apple engineer, retained Apple's "philosophy" of locked down walled garden everything, and introduced the idea of cloud controlled home automation to the masses. Killed off the idea of smart thermostats and smart home devices in general having a local server that does everything in your own home. Fuck that shit.

Also, for something pretending to be eco friendly, the amount of disposable packaging it came in was disgusting. A fucking thermostat that had more packaging than an iPad.
