The Internet of Things: What is it and How does it Affect Your Home?

What is the Internet of Things?

Also known as, loT, the internet of things is increasingly growing all around us. Anything that is a physical device that possesses an internet connection and can collect and share data can be considered a part of the internet of things. These devices can come in almost any shape or size and are quite ubiquitous. IoT plays a major role in the devices we know and love. The internet of things is simplifying and elevating homes everywhere.

The Internet of Things in the Home

Smart locks, doorbells, light switches, smoke alarms, thermostats, and lightbulbs are all prime examples of loT in the home. Why are these devices linked to the internet? These devices are connected in order to accumulate useful data and information for numerous beneficial reasons. One reason why such devices are connected to the internet and are accumulating data is to detect patterns and problems before they even occur. Such preventative measures allow your homes devices to perform better. Another benefit of loT devices is that they optimize their own efficiency by sending data back to the manufacturer. This beneficial transfer of data is made available by way of cloud computing and access to the internet. When this transfer of data occurs, the technology that you rely on becomes faster, more reliable, and more efficient.
