Google has absorbed Nest Labs’ development team in order to create a unified IoT platform — and focus on its Amazon Echo smart-home hub rival, Google Home.

Nest’s entire platform team will become part of Google, which also resides under the Alphabet umbrella, in order to create a unified Internet of things platform.”
