Linux’s domination of home automation gizmos continues
The Linux-dominated home automation business is still a fragmented free-for-all, but it’s also beginning to consolidate, with far fewer startups in 2015 compared to recent years.

Now Samsung, which began shipping its first Linux-based SmartThings hub last month, released a $249 sensor kit built around the hub.

In addition, Amazon unveiled an AWS IoT cloud platform available with starter kits based on Linux hacker boards (see below).
