[HH] When Nest batteries die...

[Mark Komarinski]

I didn't even know they were battery powered.  My Honeywells run off the furnace power and I'll get an alert if the thermostats are unable to reach their servers.
What happens when the Nest batteries no longer hold a charge?  Are they field-replaceable?
I'd also make a comment about using Fitbit to detect/monitor life-threatining heart problems, but I think that would be obvious to this crowd.

I always leave my faucets dripping just in case this happens…
