As soon as Cody Kociemba open sources his firmware I'm going to apply it to my Nest 1st gen. It is ridiculous Google is turning off the support, it is probably because they don't want to support the old API or something...

I just threw my unsupported Nest in the trash, just like Google wanted, and got something else.

After all, that’s what they want me to do. Well, their first preference would be for me to buy another one.

Even if I were to put some kind of open source thing on it, I don’t want visitors to my house to see Nest hardware and for Google to get that slight amount of free advertising.

What a waste... I like the style of it, still works fine after 10 years and it works with old furnaces. The environmentalists should be all over Google for this debacle.
