&gt; I&#x27;d suggest you go to Sacramento and ask people on the street if they even know what a NAS or home server is<p>Does Woodland count? I&#x27;ll ask a few people.<p>&#x2F;me steps outside<p>Well, my landlady and a few neighbors know what they are. You&#x27;ll have to wait until tomorrow for Sacramento, but I&#x27;ve talked to a <i>lot</i> of people in that area too and very few would have had a problem with my addon server.<p>If you treat people like idiots, they will respond in kind.<p>&gt; &quot;geek-to-geek&quot; options<p>I may have included a geek option (the source code), but a turn-key server isn&#x27;t any harder to setup than Nest&#x27;s current devices.<p>You think people can buy and install Nest&#x27;s current thermostats, but won&#x27;t be able to install a  turn-key local server that needs <i>literally</i> the same WiFi information?<p>&gt; the financial incentive is not there<p>Is this a euphemism for &quot;cannot monetize their data&quot;?
