I'm very glad I never purchased into the nest stack as it seems like most other commercial home automation platforms they either shutdown or kill the integration API.

Mmm I have a nest thermostat, got an email about this from them and will have to do some reading up as I use the api to connect it to Home Assistant.

There were of course likely disadvantages to Nest being so separated before see e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/04/23/how-nest-designed-keep-intruders-out-peoples-homes-effectively-allowed-hackers-get/ and https://9to5google.com/2019/04/23/nest-google-login-securiy/
