"Google's Nest Secure Shutdown: Alternatives and Final Warning for Users"

Google is discontinuing support for its Nest Secure home security system, leaving users with options such as a free ADT Self Setup system or $200 credit in the Google Store. Alternatively, users can consider non-ADT alternatives like Arlo, Abode, or Ecobee's security systems, which offer integration with Google Home and other smart devices. While a new ADT Smart Home Security system, potentially developed with input from Google, may be on the horizon, it may not arrive before the free offer expires, prompting Nest Secure users to explore other options.

Google's ongoing product purge: What's next on the chopping block?

Google is getting better at ending products that have an impact, as shown by the recent discontinuation of Nest Secure and Dropcam products. Google is offering discounts on new hardware and free upgrades to the new ADT Self Start system that integrates deeply with Nest plus several months of free monitoring. However, Google also made the classic mistake of cutting off updates for all third-party Google Assistant smart displays, effectively killing those products. The company is improving controls on certain smart home devices and introducing expanded controls for appliances, blinds, and more.
