No Longer Evil is a right-to-repair firmware and cloud replacement for bricked or sunset Nest Gen 1 and Gen 2 thermostats. It flashes modified bootloader/kernel components that redirect the device's traffic from Google's servers to a reverse-engineered replica API, hosted on the No Longer Evil platform or a self-hosted server (standalone or Home Assistant add-on).
Use cases
- revive a bricked Nest Gen 1 or Gen 2 thermostat after Google sunset support
- flash custom firmware onto a Nest thermostat to remove Google cloud dependency
- self-host a replacement server for a Nest thermostat
- control a repurposed Nest thermostat from a web dashboard or PWA
- integrate a de-Googled Nest thermostat with Home Assistant
- avoid e-waste by repurposing discontinued smart thermostat hardware
When to choose
- you own a Nest Gen 1/2 thermostat that Google bricked or sunset and want to keep using it
- you want thermostat data and control to stay off Google's cloud, via hosted or self-hosted infrastructure
- you want a drop-in community firmware with a GUI installer and Home Assistant integration
When to avoid
- the thermostat is critical for heating or cooling and you have no backup device - flashing may brick it
- you need a supported, production-grade smart thermostat solution rather than experimental firmware
- you are on Windows - building and flashing is only supported on macOS/Linux
- you want to keep using official Nest/Google cloud features and warranty
