I ordered a pair last week. Haven’t come in yet. From the reviews I’ve seen, they seem pretty solid. I’m not the biggest fan of how AI-focused the default OS is, but flashing a custom firmware would solve that problem.

The Even G2’s are pretty close to that. They don’t have cameras, but do have a projected display on the lenses. No audio, but a pair of Bluetooth headphones works just as good for that and most people already have them.

You can even flash custom open source operating systems if you don’t like their ecosystem such as MentraOS.

I’m loving my Aqara Matter smart thermostat. It can do everything the Nest and Ecobees can do and works entirely locally communicating directly with my Home Assistant instance and costs less than the competition. No third party app necessary. Configurable over Wi-Fi or Zigbee over Thread.
