paulbates Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I always enjoy Michael Wolf's insight on things. This article is another good example. Below is the excerpt that is most interesting:, how the HA market continues to fragment and become more dis-integrated even inside a single big player like google. It almost seems like comprehensive standards isn't the point, just consuming more market-share at the expense of them From the NextMarket article: _____________________________________________________________________________________ Just consider all that Google/Alphabet/Nest has going on in this space over the past few years: Google's consumer-facing smart home product group is Nest, which is actually part of Alphabet. Nest created technology that is the basis for Thread, which isn't a Google or Alphabet initiative, but instead an industry consortium. Google acquired Revolv, a smart home hub company, and quietly killed it. Google's Android group launched Brillo and Weave last spring. Google announced the OnHub router using Brillo/Weave, a consumer-facing router/smart home hub. OnHub is not a part of Nest, Google/Alphabet's consumer-facing brand for smart home hardware. Last week Nest announced Weave, which is different than Google Weave, but they are likely share some of the same schema. Google bought Dropcam in 2014. They launched the Nestcam this year, the newest connected camera, which you can use with your Dropcam or Nest app _____________________________________________________________________________________ This all makes the ISY approach seem more viable.. a centralized programmable controller with the potential to connect. via nodes, to just about anything.
