Google-owned Nest is digging deeper into the smart home system by acquiring startup Revolv.

Google, the world's largest internet search company, bought Nest to explore the world of smart homes in January. The web giant has since continued to build upon its $3.2 billion investment. To beef up its efforts even further, Nest has acquired smart home hub startup Revolv in a bid to control every device in the house. The startup, which has been shut down post acquisition, will help Nest with its "Works With Nest" program.

Revolv, the Colorado-based startup, builds a smart home hub with a series of radios that enable easy control of things like wireless speakers, connected light bulbs and thermostats among other smart things. The startup is now a part of a bigger project, "Works with Nest," which was launched in June with an aim to help developers integrate their products with Nest devices. Nest has already partnered with renowned brands like Mercedes-Benz where the system will connect cars with Nest so the vehicle can alert the smart home system to initiate preferred heating or cooling upon arrival, PCMag reports.

"We have been inspired by Nest since our foundation, and are thrilled to be part of the Nest family," the company said in a note on its official website."Together, we're going to create some amazing products and continue to unify the connected home as part of the Works with Nest program."

Revolv's acquisition will help the project flourish in the smart home arena, which is being explored by major players like Apple and Samsung. Apple launched HomeKit in June with an aim to control smart home gadgets via iOS devices. Samsung revealed in August that it has inked a deal with SmartThings to acquire the smart home platform maker.

Nest also announced new partners for its "Works with Nest" project, including voice-activated home assistant ivee, energy-monitoring app Life360, the Pebble smartwatch, Rachio sprinklers and the wireless sensor system from SNUPI Technologies, the report added.

Revolv will no longer sell its products to new customers but continues to support existing customers through online and phone service. The product warranty against defects and workmanship will not be affected with the acquisition. The startup also ensured that its data will not be shared with Google, same like Nest.
