Google enters the smart home market by opening the Nest thermostats API
Looks like the next big thing this year is smart homes. Google announced an API that allows manufacturers of any household appliances and not only develop products that are compatible with Nest products. This announcement was expected from the very moment of purchase by Google, which is engaged in the production of thermostats with Internet access for Nest for $ 3.2 billion in January.

According to the company, more than five thousand developers have already expressed interest in developing applications for Nest. Nest will also cooperate directly with vendors like the manufacturer of household appliances Whirlpool or automatic garage doors Chamberlain. And on Friday, Nest announced plans to acquire the manufacturer of home video surveillance, Dropcam, Reuters reported . And Wired is pleased that if you have a Mercedes in addition to the Nest thermostat, it will adjust the temperature when you leave home. At the same time, of course, only the regulation of temperature will not limit Nest's new capabilities - it can connect all wi-fi compatible devices in the house.
API Nest is the third big statement in the topic of smart homes from the giants of the IT market Google. Apple recently released the HomeKit framework for developing home appliances management applications from Apple devices, and even earlier plans to develop Tizen as a universal OS for smart homes that will work on home appliances of their own production, were announced by Samsung.

By the way, I once read a short story about the future, in which Google was just built into the homes of the inhabitants of the planet, accompanying everywhere, starting with a greeting in the morning. No one will remember the name? It seems it was a horror movie.
