    Heating systems in Europe are unique and have a variety of hardware and software requirements that make it challenging to build for the diverse set of homes

    AKA. Europe probably has hardware and software requirements that make it so Google can’t

    A) Harvest your data; and/or B) Must be able to function without an internet connection (aka. they can’t kill it)

        This is a thermostat (although an analog one). You set a temperature with it. “3” corresponds with about 20°C.

          Of course. You’d just never see this and go “oh, that’s so unique and has a variety of hardware and software requirements”. That’s what I was getting at.
