I think the Nest is okay, overpriced but nice-to-look-at thermostat. It's easy to use and easy to set up, and I haven't had any problems yet. There are a few failures, namely lack of access to data, which forced me to download the data myself and store it, violating the 10-day rule but I don't care. I would love for them to actually try to catch me.

The bigger failure is the Dropcam. The acquisition has made the product much worse. The new Nest app is really slow and crashes all the time. Currently, one of my $200 cameras won't connect to the wifi, and I no idea why, but I'm so furious I don't care.

I hate to say this, but the entire acquisition was a complete failure.
