IOT will change the way you see your house
“Hey Siri, ask Google assistant to turn on Alexa!”
Internet of things (IOT) is nothing but internet within things. Whether it be a light bulb, motion sensors, smart sprinklers, thermostats and a bunch of other things within your house.
Your house may not be smart yet, but you’re gonna see a lot of great houses built with smart things (powered by IOT).

Everything related to IOT and smart home is a bit expensive these days.

So when they are connected to the internet, they collect the data and processes into information to let the user know about the power it saved, time it saved etc.
But it also sends the data to the company so that the company can learn these bulk amount of data and come up with something very efficient in the next update. Some smart products gets software updates so that you can make sure that your one time investment is getting better day by day.
Tech giants like Google, Apple etc are backing up these projects with their smart home management apps, developer consoles, home assistants etc. They are really excited about the future, because they know it’s the future.
