It’s a thermostat, my parents still have one of those goldtone Honeywell ones with a dial from like the 1960’s. The only reason the app won’t work is because they can’t be bothered to support it. Stop making things obsolescent, make it mandatory that all this crap has a set support time after which it must be open sourced.

Agreed. If copyrights expire, then why not for proprietary software, especially when it’s no longer supported?
No, it’s a computer that runs a thermostat.
And you generally don’t allow devices that aren’t receiving security updates to continue accessing servers.
I do agree with making them open source it, though.
But they also aren’t bricking the devices. They still work as thermostats.
