Google disabled cloud services, and therefore the app. The remote control features were a key reason many bought these.

Can you edit schedules directly on the thermostat? From what I recall, much of the functionality required the app. That can’t be used now.

If you’re only using it as an analog dial to set the temperature, you won’t miss anything. However the majority of functionality is now gone from the devices.

You can edit the schedule on the device but it isn’t fun. The UI is just basically a dial that can click. And there’s no copy paste.

Yep I have this and it's total garbage. The scheduling options feel designed to troll, serious MacBook wheel vibes. No way to temporarily disable the schedule if you're going out of town. Either turn your HVAC off entirely, or delete the entire schedule and manually reenter the whole thing when you get back (who doesn't love life-wasting menu diving after a long trip?).

Yeah. It’s awful. And there’s no reason they couldn’t have given us one last firmware update that just at bare minimum allows us to use it with HomeKit or Alexa or whatever else.
