Weave is a network application layer protocol and, in implementation, a comprehensive toolkit for building connected Internet of Things-class applications, with a primary and current focus on consumer and residential applications.[1]
Weave works across multiple IPv6-bearing link technologies such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular, and Thread and has adaptations for Bluetooth Low Energy point-to-point wireless links.
History[]
Weave was originally created by Nest Labs and launched in and with its Nest Protect (1st Generation) product in 2013.[2] It has since been adopted and continued by Google following the Google acquisition of Nest Labs in 2014.[3][4] A second wave of architectural revisions were made to Weave to support the Nest Secure security system, the Nest Connect,[5] and the Nest x Yale Lock.[6] Since its acquisition of Nest Labs, Google has planned to integrate Weave with its own Android Things embedded operating system (codenamed Brillo) in order to create an end-to-end solution for IoT devices.[7]
