Description
No Longer Evil Thermostat Project Revives Googles Discontinued Nest DevicesA security researcher, Cody Kociemba, has developed an open-source solution to restore smart functionality to Googles discontinued Nest thermostats. The project, called No Longer Evil Thermostat, aims to revive the first and second generation Nest devices, which were left without support and functionality after Google ended their lifespan. The new software provides a user-friendly interface and advanced controls, allowing users to control their thermostats through a local web interface and integrate with other smart home systems. However, the project is still experimental and carries the risk of damaging the device, so its recommended for those with a backup thermostat or heating system.
