  1. IoT: Revolutionizing your home

  2. Home automation: • Since the beginning of technology, people started automating things and we have come to a point where most of the work is being done with the help of automated machines. Now is an era of automating the automated machines so that they can behave according to external conditions and choice of a particular person. Home automation is part of this evolution. From Wikipedia: • Home automation is the residential extension of building automation and involves the control and automation of lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), appliances, and security. Modern systems generally consist of switches and sensors connected to a central hub sometimes called a “gateway” from which the system is controlled with a user interface that is interacted either with a wall mounted terminal, mobile phone software, tablet computer or a web interface.

  3. Home automation: present scenario • Currently the market of home automation systems and IoT gadgets is heavily fragmented. Many big organizations are creating devices for home automation and using their proprietary protocols for connecting those devices to rest of the world. Let’s consider a few such devices: • iHome’sSmartPlug is a wifi-enabled SmartPlug. We can connect products such as lamps, fans, or humidifiers into its socket and control them remotely while we’re home or even while we’re not.

  4. netatmo’s Weather Station provides weather information of home as well as outside. Its Indoor module measures indoor comfort and provides vital information, alerts us when we need to air out our home to bring down its pollution level. Its outdoor module gives us real-time weather information gathered right at our doorstep. • Sonos’s Smart Speaker can stream all our favourite music to any room or every room. • All these devices come with companion apps for Android and iOS platforms and we can communicate with these devices using their respective apps. This way we can control these devices or devices can notify us on occurrence of various events.

  5. Home automation: future • Do you really think the above mentioned system is automated? • Actually it’s not, let me tell you how. In the above scenario, there is no interaction between devices and we need to control all the devices ourselves. Wouldn’t it be nice for us if all of these devices could communicate with each other and react accordingly. • So, for example, if humidity in the room drops below a certain level, weather station could notify it to smart plug and the smart plug could automatically switch on the humidifier. Similarly if air quality is bad, weather station could tell this to Sonos speaker and speaker could actually tell us ‘Hey! better open the window now’. • This way we don’t have to do that ourselves as it could all be automated. It is possible by one of the following two ways:
