Tell HN: Ambi Climate is closing down. Now I have 5 worthless units
Ambi Climate made a nifty system for remote controlling heat pumps.
Now the company is shutting down and I have
5 remote control devices that will become worthless since they require connecting to their cloud services to be able to change the temperature on my unit.
This is highly frustrating.
The units work well.
This has made me much more aware of all the different
products I buy that are entirely worthless if the
"service / hosting" company shuts down.
I will try to make an effort to buy "non cloud" devices
but it seems like a challenge.
I wish Ambi Climate would release a version of the app
that allows only temperature adjustment and on/ff.
