- By 2022, the total consumer spending on smart home automation devices will reach up to 80 billion U.S. dollars (Source<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
This clearly states that the smart home automation market is growing and we can see that it has already started impacting our lives.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s understand what, why and how around IoT and smart home automation.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What is IoT?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices with the network connection. These physical devices include everything from home appliances to vehicles. These physical devices connect and exchange data while embedded in the various sensors, software, electronics, actuators, and connectivity.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What is Smart Home Automation?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Well, whenever we hear something about smart home automation, we think of automating the home-based tasks. But, that is not actually the same.<\/p>\n
A home automation means developing a smart automated system for a home that takes the charge to control the home appliances, security systems, lighting, entertainment systems, and climate over the Internet connection.<\/p>\n
And, this is definitely an IoT product.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Why We See IoT-based Smart Home Automation is Impacting Our Lives?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Earlier, if people would have talked about something similar, then we would have considered it a joke. But, with emerging technologies like embedded systems, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc. home automation using IoT becomes quite obvious.<\/p>\n
Our homes are surrounded by the electronic devices- everything from a television to CCTV cameras. These devices become IoT when used in connection with various software and the Internet connection.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s dive into some stats that defines the impact of smart home automation using IoT in our lives:<\/p>\n
\n- \n
- 63% of a survey respondents said the security of their family is motivating them to adopt smart home automation<\/li>\n
- While planning to buy smart home automation products, 40% want network cameras, 26% are looking for video doorbell, 19% are looking for a connected light bulb and 13% want a smart lock<\/li>\n
- When asked about the top 3 devices, people would want to be controlled via their smartphones, 62% responded it to be a video camera, 54% for both- thermostat and lighting.<\/li>\n
- In 2015, the global smart thermostat unit sales grew by 123% (Source<\/a>)<\/li>\n
- By 2018, there will be approximately 759.3 million connected TV sets globally (Source<\/a>)<\/li>\n
- By 2023, the smart lighting market is expected to reach 105.28 billion U.S. dollars (Source<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Looking at the above smart home automation statistics, it feels that we have already started utilizing the home automation devices like it has become a need.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/span>IoT Home Sensors for Home Automation: What Are They?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
IoT sensors have the potential to significantly enhance our quality of life and make our homes safer. Smart motion controllers can tell if someone is getting close to your house. The app can alert users of any animal or human intruders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When residents leave their homes at night and in certain weather conditions, such as rain or a storm, smart controllers in the network ensure that all of the windows and doors are shut. With the help of smart home automation using IoT controllers, you can customize the lighting, humidity, and temperature to your liking. You can avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by using sensors that can detect it. Smoke controllers make it easier to keep your home safe from fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How IoT and Smart Home Automation will Change the Way We Live?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now that we know about the IoT and home automation and how it impacts our lives, Let us know how IoT & smart automation change we live. By enabling everyday devices to collect and exchange data and connecting them to the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT) rapidly alters our way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can, among other things, track our health, control our appliances, and monitor our homes with the Internet of Things. Additionally, this technology is being utilized in the manufacturing and transportation sectors to increase safety and efficiency. The Internet of Things (IoT) can potentially change how we live, work, and interact with the world. Let\u2019s understand the change IoT is bringing to make our homes smarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What are the benefits of home automation using IoT?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s discuss the major advantages of home automation using IoT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Increases home security<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\nLike we discussed above, many people have taken smart home technology a serious thing when it comes adding security to the homes.<\/p>\n
The Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent home automation can aid in protecting our homes. Having IoT-based security systems keeps you informed about any person moving around or trying to enter the home without having access. We can remotely monitor our homes and be notified of suspicious activity through sensors and cameras. These security systems can also be automated to turn on and off at specific times of the day.<\/p>\n\n
