Scientific and technological developments two years ago, Google the company had been involved in the field of smart thermostats, but ended in failure. Now, Google seems to be reluctant to restart its research on smart thermostats. According to foreign media Engadget reports, the company has started testing smart thermostats that support network connectivity. It can help users monitor energy activities and usage at home, and make adjustments in real time.

Google’s project in 2011 was a network meter named “PowerMeter†that can track energy usage throughout the home. However, due to the difficulty of large-scale mass production of the energy meter, the project faced a premature death. Google’s research on this project at the time indicated that it could provide a comprehensive understanding of the energy consumption of the consumer's home, and could save up to 15% of energy consumption through adjustments and settings.
According to reports, part of the new energy-saving plan is called "EnergySence," but Google itself does not produce hardware. Instead, it does this task to third-party Ecobee. Although Ecobee CEO Stuart Lombard stated that the company did not formally cooperate with Google, he still added that the search giant can continue to use the company's hardware.
In the field of thermostats, the most famous is Nest, which started with an intelligent thermostat and has now entered the field of smoke detectors. Nest's smart thermostat connects to smart devices (including refrigerators, webcams, etc.) via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and then uploads various data to the cloud. Google's latest research is not to directly compete with Nest. The purpose of Nest is to make air-conditioning more intelligent. Adjustments, reactions, and changes are the focus of Nest. Google’s “EnergySense†uses a different approach. Using a thermostat as a gateway to home energy monitoring will, to some extent, increasingly use wirelessly connected devices for centralized control. According to outside speculation, Google’s ultimate goal is to increase the efficiency of the energy grid and use these collected data to build applications and services.
At present, for the Google company, the development of intelligent thermostats has become a very good opportunity. After all, the smart home industry has begun to rise, and in 2014, the Internet of Things will soon become a very hot field. Google Inc. is recruiting informal Google employees to "trusted testers" to test services in St. Louis, Missouri, and other regions.
