The Internet gave us the opportunity to connect in ways we could never have imagined were possible.
The ‘Internet of Things’ will take us beyond connection to become part of a living, moving, global nervous system. Beyond Imagination!
By 2020, an estimated 50 billion devices around the globe will be connected to the Internet. It is estimated that a third of them will be computers, smartphones, mobile devices and TVs. The remaining two thirds will be other kinds of "things", such as sensors, actuators, and newly invented intelligent devices that monitor, control, analyze, and optimize our world. Also, the global IoT market is expected to grow from $655.8 billion to $1.7 trillion in 2020.
Here are some benefits of a 'smart home'
Savings: Connected devices such as learning thermostats, smart sprinklers, Wi-Fi enabled lights, electricity monitoring outlets and water heater modules cut down on energy and water use.
Control: Many things inside the home, from ovens and fridges to deadbolts and garage doors, can be controlled remotely via apps on smartphones and tablets.
Convenience: Having your living room lights turn on as you arrive home, the stereo playing your favourite song and the door opening as you approach with a bagful of groceries is perhaps the ultimate luxury of the smart home. But convenience isn’t all about luxury. Smart locks can allow you to grant access to certain individuals at certain times, so you don’t have to stay home or give out a key. Likewise, a sensor can tell you when your fridge is out of milk, and a Wi-Fi enabled doorbell can let you “answer” your door from anywhere in the world.
Security: There are many simple, connected security solutions for the smart home that are inexpensive alternatives to 24/7 monitored security systems. Wi-Fi-enabled cameras, connected motion sensors and smart smoke alarms can all be monitored from inside or outside a home via live video feed, email and text alerts.
Safety: Smart sensors that can detect water leaks, humidity levels, carbon monoxide, motion, heat and every environmental concern imaginable help prevent accidents from turning into disasters because they can communicate with you directly, wherever you are.
