The Internet of things (IoT) describes physical objects with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications networks.
IoT is bound to be an effective technology in the future, and IoT enabled devices are likely to be all-pervasive, from industry to households.
Have you ever experienced such a situation where you went outside your house and suddenly remembered that you forgot to switch off your electronics, AC, fan, or light and felt helpless that you cannot return home to switch it off? Have you ever felt that there is a need for regular checkups of the elderly person at your home, but it is very inconvenient to take him out regularly? This is where IoT comes into the picture. Using the mobile/ web application, you can access your home appliances integrated with IoT from anywhere around the world. IoT can remind you of the essential tasks that you often forget to do.
This technology reduces human efforts and saves a lot of time. All this is possible due to the connection of the IoT devices over the Internet servers that helps in sharing and exchanging the data.
