<story><title>Killed by Google</title><url>https://killedbygoogle.com</url></story><parent_chain><item><author>manuelabeledo</author><text>I used to run everything Google: had an OnHub, then a set of Nest WiFi pucks, my domains were in Google Domains, my Photos in Google Photos, have a bunch of Nest cameras and other IoT stuff, Stadia, etc.&lt;p&gt;They started by killing my OnHub, suddenly it wasn&amp;#x27;t good enough to operate as just another Nest puck. I moved off that. They killed Stadia, OK fair enough. Surprisingly, they killed my Nest Guard system too, now I have to move on to some third party they partnered with. Half of my cameras don&amp;#x27;t work as expected in the Home app, only the &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; ones do. Then they killed Domains for whatever reason.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t think I&amp;#x27;ll be paying for any new Google products any time soon.&lt;p&gt;When the cameras and smoke detectors stop working, I&amp;#x27;ll move on to something else. Unifi perhaps?</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>coldpie</author><text>I recommend the $30 smoke detector puck from the hardware store. It will work for its designed 10-year lifetime, after which you can buy another one to replace it. No drama.</text></comment>

Amazon is many things, but they rarely shut down products AND they have a proven track record of iterating and making things better over time. Ring and Eero have proven to be resilient, work well, and be slowly improved.</text></comment>
