It's been a little over eight years since Tony Fadell, considered the father of the iPod left the Cupertino-based company. Since his departure, he focused on various projects until he finally founded the Nest company, a company that soon after would launch the thermostats of the same brand.
Nest was bought by Google a few years ago, and as large companies often report, the operation of the company that had been bought would remain the same, no major changes would be seen. But one thing is what is said and another what really happens And the last clear example of what I'm talking about is the case of Tony Fadell with Nest.
Since the launch of the company's first thermostat models, Nest has always has been a reference in the world of smart thermostats, thermostats that we can control from wherever we are or through IFTTT rules. But after the comparison by Google, it seems that the number of devices that the company has launched has been reduced according to the expectations of the company and has decided to dispense with Tony Fadell as CEO of Nest.
Marwan Fawaz Former Vice President of Motorola, will occupy the position that until now was held by Fadell, which will become part of the Alphabet staff, although at the moment we do not know in which division it will end. Following the announcement of Google Home at the latest Developer Conference, it appears that Google is in a rush to bring the maximum number of IoT-compatible devices to market, and Nest thermostats are one of them.
Currently we can find a large number of devices on the market that allow us to control any device connected to the internet. The minimum price of each one is around 50 euros, overpriced if manufacturers want the IoT to spread among users.
