Google provided plenty of advanced warning, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt any less when Google discontinued support for its older Nest thermostats. While over a decade of support is pretty good, you still don't expect something like a smart thermostat to lose its connected functionality during its lifetime.

This is especially the case when things are running smoothly and barely any maintenance is required. However, that's what 1st and 2nd generation Nest Thermostat users experienced, losing the ability to control their thermostats using the app. Luckily, it looks like someone is taking control here, offering a way to bring devices back online.

HTTPS by default (security.googleblog.com)

One year from now, with the release of Chrome 154 in October 2026, we will change the default settings of Chrome to enable “Always Use Secure Connections”. This means Chrome will ask for the user's permission before the first access to any public site without HTTPS.
