Nest is down too, not surprising given they are part of Google. What I don't understand is why I can't still control my devices over my local network. Why does the system even require access to Google servers?

- ryacko 7y agoI have not implemented additional APIs by running a local DNS server.
- fredthomsen 7y agoThat made me rage the other day when I had an internet outage. I am honestly fed up with Nest esp after this new Google Nest branding, and just disconnected my thermostats from the internet. I rarely changed it from my scheduled settings via the app anyway.
- jansan 7y agoMakes me wonder What your thermostats are doing on the internet in the first place.

- dingo_bat 7y agoBecause you bought it. In contrast, Philips hue keeps working even if google is down, philips is down, your internet is down, or the entire internet infrastructure has collapsed.
