@Voxera "But the salesperson said it was possible, and their value proposition presentation was really pretty! They showed a table comparing themselves to the competition, and there were twelve green checks, while the competitor can only offer 3 green checks and 9 red crosses. THEY HAD SO MANY GREEN CHECKMARKS! And there was even a meme gif in the slides!"

@bittersweet How I wish that was not all to true ;)
I’m glad I have so far never had to work in such a setting yet. -
@ReverendLovejoy the Nest API supports all Nest devices besides the Nest Hub (it supports the Nest Hub Max however), so it's a bit of an unfortunate buy
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
New project at work involving Google Nest Hubs, supervisor asks me to do the initial setup of one of them to start developing with it using its API.
I start looking throughout the documentation and realise that we need to setup a work google account in order to register the devices, pay a fee and only THEN be able to use Google's API for Smart Devices (damn, you, Google!). Supervisor is somewhat baffled by this, and in my head I'm also surprised by his reaction. I'd assume you'd research your devices before you buy them, right?
Later, he comes into the room I'm in (I'm still allowed to work on location), looks at the freshly setup Nest Hub, saying "wow, this sure is a much smaller screen than I was expecting". I mean, you did research these devices before you bought TWENTY of them. RIGHT?!
On my way to fight with this Google device-registration-API-thing now.
