Google Cloud Is Down

Nest is down too, not surprising given they are part of Google. What I don't understand is why I can't still control my devices over my local network. Why does the system even require access to Google servers?

Let's make the following the tech mantra of the next decade: "the Internet Of Things can never possibly work until the LAN Of Things does".

That made me rage the other day when I had an internet outage. I am honestly fed up with Nest esp after this new Google Nest branding, and just disconnected my thermostats from the internet. I rarely changed it from my scheduled settings via the app anyway.

Makes me wonder What your thermostats are doing on the internet in the first place.

It doesn't, but it sure was easier implimenting one connection through Google APIs instead of two: one through Google and one through local network.

I have not implemented additional APIs by running a local DNS server.
