I hope you mean nest when you said it. Occam's razor
> CEO Tony Fadell, a former Apple exec, has tried to infuse his former company’s DNA across Nest. That means a preference for only pushing polished products out the door, an antithetical approach to its sister company, Google.
> Since joining Google’s fold two years ago, Nest, the connected-device maker, has yet to release its own new connected device.*
> * Its only new hardware, the Nest Cam, was a repackaging of its acquired Dropcam product.

I'd say Tony Fadell is the weakest link here. Things work differently outside the reality distortion field.
> "Larry Page is said to be a friend of Fadell, but he would do very well to stay completely out of it," remarked Mr Gwyther.

As an outsider, I think whether alphabet and Tony Fadell part ways soon or not will be indicative of things to come.
- tamana 11y agoThe OnHub is a quite polished product.
- newjersey 11y agoI have no direct experience with it. However, I was the pilot program cr-48 Chromebook program and that is one little engine that could (and mostly still can .. All these years later) And Google/Alphabet is willing to lose all this goodwill with Nest.
- chaostheory 11y agoFrom personal experience, it's not: 1. When I lose internet service, I couldn't manage my OnHub since everything is in the cloud including my router logs. 2. It doesn't support standard router features like NAT loopback. The list goes on.
