Who will be the overlord when Apple and Google are burning into the smart home field?

According to foreign media reports, at the beginning, Nest launched a networked thermostat. Next, they launched an online smoke detector. Now, they want to launch Next Cam, a home security camera similar to Dropcam. This company, which is being included in Google, is gradually getting involved in all aspects of smart home. However, the Nest side said that they did not intend to launch a full range of products.

Apple and Google are burning into the smart home field Who will be the overlord?

Therefore, Nest is working with Google to launch a suite of software development tools that allow external developers to build their own IoT devices. Google's Sundar Pichai revealed the project at the company's I/O Developers Conference later last month. He said the company intends to launch a new IoT operating system called "Brillo" and the "Weave" communication protocol, which can help IoT devices communicate with each other over a wireless network. According to the person in charge of the Nest Developer Program, they and Google are planning to launch a complete set of software and services that anyone can use to create a variety of IoT devices, including smart dishwashers, smart light bulbs, and smart garage doors. ....

In the smart home market, there are a variety of smart or "smart" titles, ranging from watches to lighting systems. However, these dazzling arrays of products often cannot be easily combined to work seamlessly. That's what Nest and Google are going to do. With Brillo, Weave, and other tools, including low-power wireless technology called "Thread," the two companies plan to introduce some recognized industry standards to improve the current mess. .

Obviously, they are not the only companies that have such plans.

Apple is often indispensable in this regard, and the company is moving in a similar direction, launching a project called "Homekit." Apple and Google have an eternal difference: closed and open (at least on the surface). Apple requires developers to create products that work with their own hardware and software, while Google allows developers to play freely and without constraints. Homekit has a close relationship with iOS, and Brillo naturally has nothing to do with Android.

Of course, Google is not so unselfish, its purpose in creating the system is to promote the popularity of Android phones and Nest products. This system works in a unique way with the Android operating system and the Google App Store to attract developers to Google's ecosystem. But Nest insists that these tools can run independently, without the need for Nest or Google products, consumers can control Brillo's devices through iPhone or Android phones.

Currently, Nest has opened its API (application programming interface), and external developers can control various products of the company. Through the Weave protocol, Google can provide more options for other device vendors, so that third-party devices can be used with Nest products, and they can also communicate with each other using wireless low-power networks built on Thread technology.

The current situation is that if Google's technology is adopted, at least developers can freely play without restrictions. The adoption of Apple's technology will undoubtedly be strictly constrained in Apple's own ecosystem, unable to extricate themselves. As a result, the debates that Apple and Google have caused in many fields have to be re-enacted in the smart home field.
