How Cloud IOT works
1. Smartphone Centric Architecture (with or without cloud)
In smartphone-centric architecture a light bulb is connected directly to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Thus the light bulb doesn’t have a direct link to the Internet and depends on the proximity of the smartphone.
2. Hub-centric Architecture (with or without cloud)The Hub in hub-centric architecture is working as an intermediary for connecting a bulb to the smartphone and to the Internet, since it usually connects to the home Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. A smart lightbulb is totally independent of a smartphone and could be smart on it’s own.
3.Cloud Centric Architecture (without hub)
We have a smart device that is directly connected to the home Wi-Fi network and doesn’t need any additional hub to work.
Smart Home Ecosystem Wars: Android Brillo + Weave vs HomeKit
vs Amazon EchoThere is a constant battle of ecosystem platforms designed to organize and connect our home appliances. Such a platform is a necessary and required step before we can invent and build more services on top of the connected smart home devices.
Google and Apple are moving towards the Hub centric architecture with OnHub and Apple TV respectively. They both also have their own infrastructure ecosystems (Brillo + Weave from Google and HomeKit from Apple) that are aiming to keep customers locked within their walled gardens. Such an approach will allow Google and Apple to have full control over your home, know everything about you and your family and provide added services to you for an additional cost. This will be a good scenario with a recurring business model for them.
Amazon is also trying to build the same ecosystem with Amazon Echo and a fleet of third party connected hardware appliance. Eventually the result will be the same locked ecosystem for the consumer in which she can use content and services and buy her household products from Amazon. Another great concept from Amazon, which is currently tested only with its Prime Members, is the Amazon Dash buttons that allow users to buy products with literally one click of a button that is attached to a wall in the kitchen or bathroom.
Amazon released the Lightning API for the Amazon Echo, which lets customers control lights and switches by speaking a command. If you are a smart light bulb developer you can benefit from such integration, which increases interoperability and gives a customer more options when using the device.
