Nest seems to have only improved under Google? They were floundering before the purchase.

That said, they ought to do Google auth integration as it's really annoying to maintain a separate Nest account for those products.



Not if you use GSuite or IFTTT it didn't


>> Nest seems to have only improved under Google? They were floundering before the purchase

I think OP is referencing that Google itself is the lack of improvement. Who cares how the company is doing if buying its products are out of the question due to privacy concerns.

I’m in the majority here who would never use or buy a product attached to Google.


Nest may not have gone the direction some people wanted, but it's a healthy ecosystem (within the brand) and line of business.
