&gt; <i>you cannot operate the camera or switch your thermostat’s settings without Internet connection</i><p>This should say *remotely. I know it does in the paragraph before, but sometimes people only read bullets.<p>So is the complaint here I can&#x27;t find out what data the device is sending back to Nest in whole? And contrary to the post, their Public API is pretty extensive.<p>Seems to me this is just another person with a concern around no local control&#x2F;data retrieval. There is at least one other thermostat that has that.
