Next month, Google is going to make some Nest thermostats not-so-smart.

This can never happen with a #HestiaPi. It's not even possible because it doesn't depend on some third party cloud service. Everything is run inside your home, and it's yours, forever. ❤️

The HestiaPi is also #repairable and #upgradable. In summary, it's better by design.

You can still use Google Nest thermostat with this #opensource #software

Nice! It's unfortunate that the person running that website is collecting people's email addresses when clicking the "getting started" button. Glad to see there is a self-hosted option buried on the github page. Not sure why there is any other option... ☹️
