SmartThings - Not Ready For The REAL World ?!

Neither side is being arbitrary. They just have a different design philosophy. And the two happen to be incompatible.

I would not call it incompatibility. There are plenty of partners on the works with Nest list that allow control of the thermostat…

Limited control, not full control. It’s not an ego thing on either side.

What's the deal with Nest?

I don’t believe this is true. The “official” Nest integration would be greatly stripped down as we would have to remove functionality in order to allow you to connect Nest to SmartThings. For example - you’d only be able to use it with certain SmartApps (as defined by Nest).
