Paging COSO Hive Mind:
I am interested in installing a WiFi thermostat for remote control, scheduling, multiple users, and potential energy savings.
Google Nest Thermostat ticks all the boxes, and for a good price. Are there any serious security concerns with current models beyond the usual Google stuff? The exploits I'm reading about are all from 2014-2016.
It would be on an isolated VLAN, and my pi-hole would minimize the data sent to the Googleship.
Thoughts? Better options?
@voltronic We’ve had Nest and recently switched to Ecobee. I like the app and controls better personally. We have little sensors in each of the main rooms so it can detect activity and we have the Alexa speaker disabled.
