Microsoft is looking to invest in some home automation technology. Home automation is a hobby of mine, and I’d love to see Microsoft get more into it (without the BSOD when opening my Windows…). With programmable and learning thermostats like Nest becoming more common, as well as home security, lawn irrigation, door locks and others automated functions, it is about time a big player comes into the game.
Today, that strategy is taking a turn towards Microsoft’s home market, down the corporate route and stopping at the Internet of Things: Microsoft is launching a new accelerator in Seattle in partnership with American Family Insurance focusing on the home automation market. Applications are open from now until July 28, and the accelerator will run August through December.
