Google presents its new operating system: Android Things

[G.O.G]

The Android operating system has just given life to a new variant of its platform, this time with the Internet of Things (IoT) as the protagonist. What until now was known as Brillo is transformed into Android Things, an operating system that from now on will be dedicated exclusively to IoT devices.

What Google has done has been to bring together Brillo, its "software" for the Internet of Things, with some of the services that until now were available on the Android developer platform (Android Studio, Google Play services, platform Google Cloud ...). From there is born Things, a platform that is already available to developers who want to give life to their devices through a platform based on the simplicity of Android.

Android Things adds to the list of specific versions of Android oriented devices that go beyond mobile (see Android Wear or Android TV, for example), and does so with the idea of becoming the reference of connected devices Which will reach the market in the coming years.

On the other hand, Google has also announced that it will carry the compatibility of its Weave platform (a system that allows the connection between IoT devices and Google services) to this new operating system.
