Android Things is the same platform, the same hardware, and just like with smartphones, they run on Qualcomm's SD624 Home Hub Platform. Android Things is Google's stripped-down version of Android that is purpose-built for IoT products, and the third-party smart displays are the first commercial devices to run the OS. Android Things is built on an open source platform called Android Foundation.

Android Foundation is Google's open source operating system that allows users to create and manage their own Android hardware. The foundation is built on Android Wear, Google's open-source Wear 2.1. The Open Firmware API allows developers to create and run Android applications on their own devices, and developers can access and use the firmware and the framework built into the Wear 2.1 operating system. The foundation also lets developers build and deploy applications in their own virtual machines.

As for the other side of the ledger, Android Foundation enables Google to take off the lid on the hardware for IoT and allow OEMs to take advantage of it. At the heart of its new Android app is an API that allows developers to create and sell their own Android apps on the open source Android platform. Developers can sell their own apps on the open source platform with an SDK. In fact, on the open source platform, OEMs can do the same thing with apps created by OEMs, and OEMs can sell the apps as SDKs. That's right, the same SDKs that make Android Wear Wear 2.1 and Android Wear 2.2 can also sell apps on the Android platform.

The two API's also make it easier for OEMs to sell apps on the open source platform with a SDK. Android Foundation allows Google to make Google's devices run on a different open source platform, and it's a different platform that is also known as the Android
