<從Amazon收購Ecobee來看Nest的殞落>
加拿大智能溫控器公司 Ecobee 宣布獲 C 輪融資,共 3500 萬美元,亞馬遜「Alexa 基金」是領投方。這是迄今為止該基金最大的一筆投資。
最常被拿來對比的對手是Nest Thermostat,Ecobee3設計比較靈活,Nest感測器都在裝置本身上面,但是Ecobee有搭配Remote Sensor,可以放在不同房間感測溫度與動作(Motion Sensor),而且本體則是有包括溫度、濕度、動作、位置等感測器,適合多房間的應用。
再加上Nest自從前老闆被換走,換來一個在Google裡面無足輕重的人物來帶領Nest,然後把Programmer抽調回去Google物聯網部門,主要重心放在Google Home相關計畫的開發,Nest要再超越Ecobee似乎已經不太可能了。
猜測Nest在未來很可能會落入類似手機Nexus這種樣板機的下場,Google已經承認了用Nest來搞智慧家庭硬體的失敗,回歸採用Android/Nexus的成功模式來做智慧家庭,不與硬體夥伴搶生意的方式,比如目前的Google Home就是開放給ASUS/TP-Link來做。
而在OS Platform的部分,Android(與它的一些變形OS)也有可能會在Google Multiple Platform的部分一統天下,通吃手機、筆電、智慧家電,讓Google內部平台趨於統一,強化資源應用綜效。
Android是個既有的成功模式,加上Google之前試著用Nest完硬體但是失敗了,回歸Android模式是人之常情。
目前智慧家庭戰場的領先者似乎是忽然崛起的Amazon,Voice UI(Echo)與Cloud Gateway(Alexa)的創新模式串起了硬體、軟體、以及互聯網的各種服務,把智慧家庭的邊界又往外推了一個境界,而Apple HomeKit還是糾結在其安全性與封閉性格,遲遲無法大步往前邁進,Facebook的AI機器人雖然在互聯網的世界掌控了人類,但是否能有效地發展成智慧家庭平台變數還很大,此時Google在Nest的挫敗反而會加速Google在智慧家庭的布局,後續發展值得期待。
但終歸一句,這四大的主戰場還是在美國,在智慧家庭DIY尚且困難且產品破碎化的情況尚未改善前,等這群生態系要移居台灣或者在台灣發展本地化生態系,可能還有幾年時間,台灣廠商還是有空間可以發展屬於台灣人的智慧家庭服務~
