    They just killed my nest cameras, but the thermostat is still supported. I was planning on replacing it with an ecobee this year just because API access is kind of a pain but this is giving me some second thoughts.

      Killed, as in the thing you paid for is basically worthless now?

      That’s not just planned obsolescence, it’s forced obsolescence

        Yeah. Although they were honestly long past their prime, and I wasn’t using them anymore so it’s hard to be upset.

        They could even be set in RSTP mode before they dropped support from the app, so they could still be useful.
