"Dumb" home devices work as expected for 25-50 years, and then you replace them.

"Smart" home devices work as expected for about a year and then they fail in new and exciting ways, and then you replace them.

My mercury bulb thermostat from 1966 still works.

So do those nest thermostats. They just reverted back to being a thermostat from 1966.
