My thermostat hides no brainier features behind an "Ai" subscription. Switching off the heating when the weather will be warm that day doesn't need Ai... that's not even machine learning, that's a simple PID controller.
I'm so glad I switched to just home assistant and zigbee devices, and my radiators are dumb, so I could replace them with zigbee ones. Fuck making everything "smart" a subscription
I think I will try ESP-Home, half of my appliances are Tasmota-based now, I just was too lazy to research compatible Thermostats... (Painful hindsight)...
Even the supposed efficiency benefits of the nest basically come down to "if you leave the house and forget to turn the air down, we will do it for you automatically"
