Google is paying off its angry smart home customers
Nest has decided to shut down Revolv, a company that it bought in 2014. Though the Revolv Hub smart home gadget wasn't a big seller, its customers are furious. Next month, anyone who bought the Revolv Hub will basically have a dead device on their hands.
The Revolv Hub is like a central control unit for household gadgets that can be controlled through Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies.
A spokeswoman for Nest said that the company is working with customers "on a case-by-case basis to determine the best resolution, including compensation."
