The increasing use of the Raspberry Pi in home automation attracted the attention of the search giant. After failed negotiations to acquire the intellectual property of Raspberry Pi to the project and adopt the same model of freedom that applies in Android, Google has adopted an intermediate strategy: to become the main sponsor and maintainer of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which will continue to produce and sell its miniature PC $ 20, but will deliver it with an SD card boot Android.
At the same time, Google will produce and distribute their own version of the equipment, with the name of Nexus Pi, and bringing a version with access to the Android Google Play and pre-installed applications for home automation and monitoring. Applications require Internet connection to operate, and if you choose to share your data from home monitoring with the company, the equipment will be free.
