Google Nest

[Electric_Andy]

I've just been sent a free one. Does anyone have one? I've looked online about what it can do but I can't seem to find a use for it! I don't want to pay for "smart" lights or thermostats so it won't be used for that. What else is it good for, apart from listing on ebay? I have a couple of smart plugs (one switches on my hifi unit, the other switches on an uplighter in the lounge).

Bin it or sell it would be my advice. The less creepy spyware you have in your home, the better.

I tend to agree, they’re an answer to a question no one has asked.

Yes, I'm not a total luddite but I am struggling to see what it's good for (haven't opened it yet). I'm sure there will be lots for sale now, as thousands like me were selected to receive a free one!
