Systems
Internet of Things
IoT is the network of “things” that are embedded with electronics,
software, sensors and Internet access which enables them to connect
and exchange data.
A “thing” in the context of IoT implies the physical entity that possesses
an unique identifier, an embedded system and the ability to transfer data
over a network.
Examples
Built-in Sensors of an Automobile.
Implantable Recording System.
Biochip Transponders.
The Father of IoT
Who coined the term in 1999.
Advancement Goals
 The figure of online capable devices increased 31% from 2016 to $8.4
B in 2017.
 Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of about 30 billion objects by
2020.
 It is also estimated that the global market value of IoT will reach $7.1 T
by 2020.
Smart Home
a.k.a Domotics.
Building automation for a home,
Involves the control and automation of:
Heating, Ventilation & Air-Conditioning (HVAC).
Security.
Domestic appliances.
Wi-Fi is predominantly used for remote monitoring and
control.
Home devices, when remotely monitored and controlled via
the Internet, are an important constituent of the Internet of
Things.

Software Interface
A programming tool for wiring the
hardware devices, APIs and online
services together; in new and
innovative ways.
Very visual, drag-and-connect
usability.
Encapsulates all the logic in single
JSON file.

Weather forecast &
Current conditions.

ConsPros
Pros
 Smart homes provide energy efficient savings.
 Systems like Z-Wave and ZigBee put some devices at a reduced level of
functionality so that they can go to sleep and wake up when
commands are given.
 Electric bills go down when lights are automatically turned off at
empty rooms and rooms can be heated or cooled based on who's
there at any given moment.
 Some devices can track how much energy each appliance is using and
command power hogs to use less.
 Smart home technology promises tremendous benefits for elderly
people living alone.
 Easy-to-control automated systems would provide benefits to
those
with disabilities or a limited range of movement.
Cons
 Lack of trust in technology.
 Complexity.
 Requires a significant amount of investment in both cash and time.
 Comes with security concerns.
 Hackers who find a way to access the network may have the ability to
turn off alarm systems and lights, leaving the home vulnerable to a
break-in.
 They could also cause mischief like turning devices on and off rapidly,
which could ruin some electronics or -- in an extreme case -- possibly
cause a fire.
 No general standard.
Thank you.
