In the last hours was just made ​​public purchasing Revolt by Nest , one of the most important companies in charge of creating platforms and services for controlling the different products that coexist in smart homes. There is a lot of sense to purchase equipment Nest, which expect the team behind Revolv can help them improve their products in the future.
The reason is that, while Nest is focused on creating hardware (their smart thermostats are just a small proof) Revolv is rather focused on the platform that these devices use to communicate with others, so it is Two pieces of a puzzle that fits perfectly. Therefore, in Nest seem to be very interested in the potential of the team of Revolv, so the latter have stopped working on their projects to join the Nest division . Until now, were working in services connecting devices from different manufacturers to communicate. Although Revolt continue to offer support and technical assistance to its clients, it will focus its efforts on the platform Work With Nest, the part of the company responsible for working with groups of developers to increase compatibility between products Nest and third . For now, Revolt will work with the team of Dropcam, company was also acquired by Nest during the month of June .
For now, we must wait for all these purchases are translated into new products and services Nest hand.
