The recently released Android 4.2.2 update includes a subtle reference to Android@Home, the initiative of Google’s mobile OS to work with household appliances. It is unclear how the plans exactly.
The reference was found in the code of Android 4.2.2, which in the comments the “Android@Home mesh network”, reports Android Police. From the code can be made that it is intended for the asking of permission from another device to communicate. Google itself has about the changes published anything.
Android@Home was nearly two years ago made public during the Google I/O event, but it is still not made available. With the home automation software would users with their Android device, for example, turn lamps on and off. It is possible that Google during the upcoming I/O event, which is held during may, more about disclose.
Android 4.2.2 was recently rolled out for the devices in Google’s Nexus series fall. There are improvements with regard to the streaming of audio over bluetooth, in addition to a number of smaller adjustments which have been made.
