Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Essentially my product is useless now. I contacted support and they have no plan to fix this issue.

I encounter this type of issue all the time. People have different takes on it. Some are interesting, most are just selfish; 'I'm inconvenienced and thus this is an outrage.'

But, I'm interested to know who's really "at fault" here. Is it:

a.) Android for not allowing/enabling backward compatibility.
b.) Casper's fault for not continually upgrading an already working product.
c.) The consumer for expecting a totally new hardware and OS to work the same as the old.
d.) the consumer's fault for ever buying a cloud tied product.

I'm interested in everyone's opinion.

You can most likely use apps like APK extractor on your old device to get the APK file and then install it on your new device. May or may not work depending on how the app was made.
