Heatwave Causes Problems For Internet Of Things Devices
- Newsweek, Friday, July 29, 2016 9:05 AM
Google’s smart Nest thermostats have experienced widespread outages across the U.S. this week, as large parts of the country continue to experience the worst heatwave in four years. Nest owners took to social media to complain about the issue, which appears to affect the Nest companion app that is used to control the device. It is unclear how many users have been affected, though Nest have said it is only a “small percentage” and that devices can still be controlled manually.

Just Imagine how bad it will be when these geniuses force the un-manned car down our throats.
Wonder how that pile of plastic circuit boards will last in the Nevada Desert? Opps , sorry , the $10 sensor had a melt down and , opps, drove your car head on into a greyhound. It's ok though, because it's technology, so it must be good for us. MORONS!!!
Don't we have programable thermostats? Oh, forgot, you need to set it from your phone or car , for ................some reason????
Nest's "early response" feature has been suddenly turning on the AC at 6:30 am...and misreading the outside temperature, which is cooler than the house. (and yes, I have it turned off).
