Today is the final day that Google will allow users of the 2nd gen Nest thermostat to use the Nest and Google Home apps with their thermostat.

In a matter of hours, this expensive early product of the Internet of Things will enter the Google Graveyard.

I know you've been working on a upcycling effort (thank you), and I know you've been consciously trying to "beat the clock" given that today's the d-day. How close do you think you are?

And a note to Google: dropping a perfectly functional device makes you a no-go for any type of future purchase from me. No pixels, no storage, no nothing. It's not my fault you dingalings paid $3B for thermostat that was slowly adopted and quickly met with ample competition. Oh, and put Reader back.

I think I am 4 to 5 weeks away from shipping. PCBs are basically done, I'll be placing an order for samples of the 3 different PCBs that make up the whole kit in the next day or two

I'm starting to move onto software - there's working samples for drawing on the display and for interpreting motion of the scroll ring. Now, on to integrating them and building in time for one more PCB rev in case I discover a silly mistake
