Just three months after Nest co-founder Tony Fadell left the company and new CEO Marwan Fawaz took over, Alphabet’s troubled smart home division, Nest, is apparently experiencing another shakeup. According to a report from Fortune, Google is “absorbing” Nest’s software engineers in order to form a “unified Internet of things platform.”
Hiroshi Lockheimer, the current head of Android, will lead the group. The Fortune report notes that the combined group will “continue to work” on Google Home, Google’s forthcoming Amazon Echo competitor.
