It seems that the war between the two Internet giants will never end. neither of them signs the Peace. And the latest development is that the Nest division —products focused on home automation— will no longer be commercially available online biggest in the world.
It is not the first time that Google and Amazon have faced each other. It is a tug of war, in which you pull rather than loosen. And if some Google services are not available on Amazon computers - we mean YouTube, one of the video services in streaming most popular on the internet - now Amazon is attacking and stop selling Nest products, as stated from the portal Business Insider.
Few products from the Nest catalog are currently sold on Amazon: the smart thermostat, Surveillance Camera and few other products. These teams will not immediately disappear from the offer that Amazon offers. However, reportedly, as stocks disappear from Amazon warehouses, they will no longer be covered.
All this decision has been known in a meeting held by representatives of both companies and in which, although no specific names have been given, Everything indicates that Bezos himself has been in charge of making the decision. It is true that Google is standing up to Amazon in this sector, which on the other hand continues to be the undisputed leader. However, it is also true that the assistant Google Assistant is increasingly present in equipment from other brands. And this can jeopardize the reign of Alexa and its different Amazon Echo models.
Finally, we are also aware that the home automation sector is being very important for Amazon. And we can demonstrate it with the latest acquisition of the online commerce giant: it was made with the manufacturer of smart locks iRing.
