Google announced the end of support for early Nest Thermostats in a support document earlier this year that largely flew under the radar. As of October 25, first and second generation units released in 2011 and 2012, respectively, will be unpaired and removed from the Google Nest or Google Home app.

Users will no longer be able to control their thermostats remotely via their smartphone, receive notifications, or change settings from a mobile device. End-of-support also disables third-party assistants and other cloud-based features including multi-device Eco mode and Nest Protect connectivity.

    I mean if it doesn't require cloud connectivity, then it just becomes the communication protocol right? I'd be fine with Google offering local only access as an alternative, but of course they only offer the newer model.

    Yeah that's fair, I just don't like any devices with network access at all.
