I consider the original Nest Learning Thermostat one of my best tech purchases. The green options and money-saving bits are pretty cool, and I like how it can set temperatures higher or lower when the house is empty. But I love being able to change everything from my phone. I don't have to try and haul myself upstairs because I'm chilly, and that makes a difference.
Then Google comes along and ruins everything by dropping support for it. It will still work if I haul myself up those stairs where I can touch it, but what I need (really, what many disabled people need) is going away, and I won't be able to control it through an app on my phone. What the hell, Google?
