Disappointed as if recent. I had my thermostat loss wifi on the rare occasion, but in the past month.. it's been a bit more, and now today I cont get it back. I have done everything under the sun, and it won't connect to wifi. And from what I read, it's a big problem for many... A new update to fix this needs to be a priority and coming fast. I am pissed and live in a cold state!!!

Wants to clutter my notifications with controls for a TV I don't own and have never interacted with on this phone. I would have gone through support but it just "doesn't work right now" so here's a review instead. I could turn off notifications but in what world does Google think it's okay to just randomly give me controls to a foreign TV and insist on cluttering my notifications with controls for it? Pretty ridiculous.
