EchoStar’s 'Sage' Connects With Nest Expands options for new do-it-yourself smart home platform

[bluegras]

Sage by Hughes, a home security and automation platform launched by EchoStar Technologies in March, said it has extended support to Google’s Nest products, including security cameras, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and the Nest Learning Thermostat.

I noticed my Nest thermostat has started contacting an EchoStar IP.

I haven't purchased any Sage hardware.

Does anyone know if there are plans to allow persons without sage hardware to control their Nest products via Hopper DVRs?

If not I think I might go ahead and block the communication between my Nest and EchoStar.

I thought Echostar has discontinued Sage.

Thanks. FYI the IP is 67.148.153.136. Nest tells me it is still valid.

Oddly it is the same IP my hoppers contact as well. Blocking it just for my Nest devices. Thanks!
