&quot;We will be contacting eligible Nest Secure customers on Friday with an exclusive offer for a complimentary next-generation security system from ADT (up to $485 value), or $200 to use on the Google Store.&quot;<p>Does anyone <i>willingly</i> want to go ADT? Home of the three year contract, the long-winded-drawn-out cancellation processes, the constant door-knocking and chasing down to sign up for service, the constant glut of fees and charges when things go wrong...

Another day, another google death <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;killedbygoogle.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;killedbygoogle.com&#x2F;</a><p>With this track record I never plan on using a new google product. Now, I will immediately stop using or sell anything I have that is acquired by google. It seems like they&#x27;re only capable of leaving a trail of corpses of past good ideas.

They likely won&#x27;t... but would really appreciate if, when hardware vendors EOL their products they&#x27;d release schema diagrams and protocol documentation. There&#x27;s no reason you shouldn&#x27;t get at <i>LEAST</i> a decade out of these. It&#x27;s the main thing that has kept me from any kind of &quot;smart home&quot; integration at all.<p>I wound up going with a security package from my cable company (kind of crappy cameras, tbh), but I&#x27;m not thinking in terms of ownership at this level. In the end, it&#x27;s just disappointing in general how much churn there is in the tech space.<p>Similarly, I&#x27;m not going to buy a fridge, or washing machine with a built in tablet, when they stop receiving updates in under a year usually. It&#x27;s just really crappy as a race to the bottom. Either start with a rental&#x2F;subscription model, or be prepared to maintain the product for a decade. Homes and cars aren&#x27;t churned like phones.

Considering that Dropcam came out in 2012, (and the Pro version in 2013) I think this is actually good enough. We don&#x27;t expect IoT devices from other brands to be working forever either. Not even Apple supports their devices for that long. Google just gets a lot of hate on HN but this isn&#x27;t anything deserving that much hate.<p>The article kind of made the same point:<p>&gt; Google previously committed to supporting Nest products for at least five years, and it did meet that standard. If you’ve been holding onto a Dropcam for more than a decade, it’s hard to argue that you didn’t get your money’s worth

With the news that they are shutting down the Google assistant smart displays, the best thing you can do now is just not have smart devices like these in your house or just use Home assistant. They&#x27;re just waiting to go to the landfill.

Does anyone know of the devices will work even locally? That would provide some value, though of course most of the value is in remote notifications and status availability.<p>Separately, is there any chance that folks here might be able to come up with something like Rebble to give these devices life into the future? I have a lot of sensors and hate to think this will go completely to waste!<p>UPDATE: If these will still run locally (like they can now when my wifi is down), then I&#x27;d probably buy a HomePod Mini and train it on the Nest&#x27;s alarm sound for use with the Sound Detection feature. [1] I first heard of this feature at an Apple presentation at the CSUN Assistive Technology conference and thought it sounded really useful.<p>Although it wouldn&#x27;t let me know what door&#x2F;window was opened, it would at least send an alert to my phone so that I would know to look into things further.<p>1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.macrumors.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;01&#x2F;18&#x2F;homepod-sound-recognition-software-update&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.macrumors.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;01&#x2F;18&#x2F;homepod-sound-recogniti...</a>

&gt; Now that it’s dropping Dropcam and Nest Secure, the Nest Protect smart smoke alarms are the only Nest App-only devices left<p>Wait, what does this mean? Does this mean my Nest thermostat has... another app I can use? I mean, the Nest app is a dumpster fire of deferred features. The only reason I know it&#x27;s been touched in the past 9 years is because the app was updated to work full-screen on the iPhone X.

When I was weighing Ring vs Nest security systems, I&#x27;m glad I went with Ring.

At this point, people who buy stuff from Google deserve what comes to them.

Well this stinks. Guess I will think twice about ever giving money to Google again. The run has been pulled out from under me by Google enough times to consider them worth avoiding.
