Google today announced at its I / O 2015, its first operating system dedicated to the Internet of Things. This one is named Brillo. Brillo is designed for simple devices like connected light bulbs, refrigerators, thermostats and furnaces, etc.
As might be expected after the rumors surrounding the latter, it is based on a lightweight version of Android, and offers a synchronization protocol for devices called "Weave". Android devices automatically detect the other devices of IoT, and offer the ability to automatically add them. This is a real novelty compared to what we had so far, and especially compared to the offer from Apple, HomeKit. Indeed, Brillo integrates deeper into the objects relative to HomeKit.
Weave will work with devices running OS Brillo, but the communication software is cross-platform. It will also be available for developers who want to use with existing software stacks.
Brillo can manage Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth Low Energy, voice recognition, and other basic features. And as it is based on Android, it will be able to communicate with Android smartphones, tablets and other devices using the mobile operating system from Google. This will allow you to do things like control your lighting connected from your phone.
Although we should learn about it during the two days of the American event, please immediately note that Brillo will be available in Q3 of this year, with a full version at a later date. Indeed, Google plans to launch a separate set of tools called Weave that allow connected devices to talk to each other in the fourth quarter.
