According to ZDNet, smart watch Pebble and smart bracelet Jawbone, which each have a development platform, recently announced their cooperation with other intelligent hardware. Pebble will "join" with Misfit to join the activity tracking feature, while Jawbone is "marriage" with Nest for intelligent room temperature control.
Before the opening of Google I/O 2014, Pebble and Jawbone announced the news of their products collaborating with other smart hardware. The two collaborations show the "potential" value of existing wearable devices and can be used with other smart hardware. Connections create more practicality and big data, which is a good news for the smart hardware field.
For the smart watch Pebble and Jawbone UP24 smart bracelet, although the two products are equally attractive in design, monitoring and price, it has to be said that it is difficult to make a purchase. While Pebble announced that they have addressed the issue of activity tracking needs, Jawbone announced that its partnership with Nest is also telling consumers that wearables can realize another function in their lives.
Let’s first take a look at the “joining†between Pebble and Misfit.
Many people want Pebble to work with Fitbit or other health service providers to bring event tracking. Misfit is clearly at the forefront, developing a dedicated Misfit watch app for Pebble.
If you install this app on your Pebble, you can track daily walking steps and daily activity goals, all without the need to pair with your phone. However, Misfit's current application is still relatively basic in function, but for those who wear Pebble, this is really good news. If there is this application to help, he really does not have to buy a bracelet to monitor health. .
Let’s take a look at the “marriage†between Jawbone and Nest.
Jawbone and Nest, have to say that this is two star-rated smart hardware. The cooperation between the two will allow you to communicate with Nest via UP24, allowing the latter to intelligently adjust the room temperature based on your sleep state.
I am very interested in this "cross-border" connection. The principle of this control is not difficult to understand. In fact, UP24 connects iPhone and Android phones via Bluetooth 4.0 (low power consumption). When you enter different sleep modes, your status information will be fed back to your smartphone via UP24. After that, the mobile phone sends an adjustment signal to Nest through the UP application to regulate the room temperature.
In my opinion, foreign intelligent hardware has entered the stage of starting a collective “husband warmingâ€. In other words, everyone has different functions, and hopes to enhance the position of products in the industry and open the sales market to each other through cooperation. In fact, it is not difficult to understand the time cost of manufacturing a good product for hardware startups. For them, it is better to expand the usage model by invading each other’s products. Boundary blurring.
Take Jawbone and Nest for example. For the former, it is not impossible to start an indoor thermostat now, but in the case of Nest, it may have almost no advantage. For Nest, it needs a hardware product that clearly "knows" the user's physical condition, and can monitor the room temperature more intelligently. Obviously, cooperation is a hit.
However, at home, this "bringing warmth" model has not yet emerged. The only thing that I have seen is the product cooperation based on "making a hardware platform". This method is not unacceptable, but it is very difficult for the hardware startup team.
