[I/O 2015] Brillo & Weave

[Almost]

Brillo & Weave

Of course, Google introduced it’s attempt to get into the automation game with Brillo, an android-based IoT OS, and Weave the communication protocol that will make it all work. Nest’s, err, Google’s ambitions go beyond the home and extend to larger things such as farm irrigation equipment, or even a cities public transportation.

Brillo

Brillo is a simplified Android OS for use in internet connected appliances. Pichai talks about door locks with enough computing power for WiFi and BLE. Oddly high powered devices for such a specific task.

Weave

Weave is the communication protocol Nest Google will use (too many standards? Make a new one!). This will take the form of a moderated schema that will define common actions across devices, making it sound much like Android’s current intent system. Of course, Android devices will natively support weave, but it will be cross platform.

This looks standardized, right??

Coming Q4 2015.
Yeah. That’s literally all the info we got.
