Modern technologies have revolutionized the business and lifestyles of the people today. The role of advanced electronics, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) with machine learning (ML) have furthered the scope in bringing in miraculous tools. Internet Of Things (IoT) is one of the advanced platforms which makes the unique task of connecting, communicating and controlling of the appliances, products, equipment, machinery, etc. Enabling the users in controlling the functioning of the systems, the IoT has magically synchronized the business and life spaces making everything convenient, safer and convenient.
Lets Explore how IoT trends are shaping the future of smart homes and cities
IoT is at the forefront, with remote monitoring technologies improving healthcare and smart cities improving urban life. IoT gadgets are making living environments in homes more convenient and intuitive. IoT-driven analytics are influencing strategic choices and offering deeper insights in enterprises.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming smart homes and cities in many ways, including:
- Enhanced connectivity
Faster data transmission speeds, lower latency, and the capacity to connect numerous devices at once are all made possible by the quick development of 5G technology.
- Connected and autonomous vehicles
Advanced features like adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance can be made possible by IoT-enabled sensors, cameras, and communication systems that give cars the capacity to gather and exchange real-time data.
- Improved public health
IoT can be used to track health trends, identify environmental dangers, and monitor air quality.
- Better sustainability
Eco-friendly behaviours can be suggested by using IoT to track environmental conditions, garbage levels, and energy consumption.
- Real-time decision making
By using IoT to monitor energy use, waste levels, and environmental conditions, eco-friendly practices can be recommended.
- Enhanced safety and security
Real-time home monitoring using smart home technologies, such as motion sensors, security cameras, and smart locks, can prevent burglaries and notify homeowners of crises.
- Improved efficiency
By connecting IoT devices, information about energy consumption, traffic patterns, and other aspects can be gathered and utilized to improve services.
Smartness Personified
Many working women are versatile in managing the professional, family, personal and social spheres efficiently. Their ability to manage, monitor and control multiple things in the same time frame makes them ‘supermoms’. However as we delve in to the superpowers, one of the secrets that equips these wonder women is IoT.
As IoT connects the devices internally and with the owners, electrical appliances can be monitored remotely. The software application offers the users with a real-time update of the home, surroundings and the visitors. The sensor-based system switches ON when the occupants arrive and Switches OFF the appliances as they vacate. The online synchronization of the CCTV systems helps the working parents to keep a track of their children or senior citizen at home. Easy connectivity to the security and the concierge teams helps in communicating and handling things remotely.
Smart Neighbourhood
Right from the main entrance the security system scans the QR code on the vehicle, the IoT system confirms the vehicle registration number with the owner and opens the entry boom barrier. Further as the users drive inside the pathway lights get ignited illuminating the area. As the car passes, the lights steadily dim down to OFF. Till the car is parked and the home owner goes to the stairs or lifts, the lights guide the way. This system optimizes the power consumption and helps the users with the lights for the exact time that is required.
Home entrance system has camera which scans the owners with face recognition and enable in unlocking the entrance. A systematic record of the owner movement and visitors is parallelly maintained in the cloud-based system database.
Effective Home Management
The senior citizen or the patients can be monitored remotely by having an online video/audio communication system which can help the users to talk to them. The operations of the lights, fans, TV, air-conditioning system can be seamlessly handled remotely. The AI integrated IoT applications regulate the air-conditioning systems based on the climatic changes. The system reminds the senior citizen to take the medicine at the required time.
Smart Homes of Smart Families
The impact of the technologies like IoT has greatly enhanced the modern lives. The automatic system which has several dimensions communicates with the family members, offering them with the answers and providing interesting learning tips to support the kids in their studies. Women have been using the IoT applications to cook more efficiently with certain quick new recipe to be tried with the AI bots. The system sets in the mood for a house party by playing the foot-tapping music and dimming the lights. It also plays calming and soothing nature tunes during the yoga or meditation sessions. The most interesting part is in creating the perfect bed-time atmosphere by lighting the stars on the ceiling with the bedtime stories told in pleasing and assuring voice-over.
