I have an Amazon smart thermostat. I don’t worry about it being bricked. I’ve had it for years. I did look at the Google stuff. But I’m generally moving away from products from certain companies going forward. Namely, Samsung and Google. I had many concerns, but I’m not surprised to hear how Google is handling their own products.
