Create a fully Automated Home with IoT Smart Home Devices

IoT Smart Home Devices

What are IoT smart home devices?

IoT smart home devices are the most advanced technologies that allow you to have remote access to your home devices. The IoT devices are wirelessly connected to the network and allow multiple devices to communicate with each other and perform the required task. These IoT smart home devices can be connected via an app and are compatible with virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home as well. Devices embedded with IoT technology uses sensors, actuators, and automation to perform the required task. For example, when a person arrives at your home, you can view it from the doorbell camera to see who is it. If you want the person to come in, you can use the smartphone app or voice command to unlock the door. These devices can be used in various home tasks.

What are the benefits of IoT smart home devices?

·       Control: IoT smart home gadgets provide the homeowner complete control of their smart devices. You can control these devices with the help of the smart app no matter how close or far you are from the device. If you are laying on the couch and want to turn off the fan, just use the app to turn it off and you will not need to get up and perform the task.

·       Energy-saving: These IoT devices have an energy-saving feature which means they consume less energy as compared to regular home devices and helps the user save additional costs. These devices also give a better result, and if they are no longer needed, they can be turned off using the app.

·       Security: These devices help secure your home in your absence. When you are at work or traveling, you can monitor your home with help of security cameras and can even take protective measures in case you detect suspicious activity.

·       Convenience: An intelligent home control system provides the user convenience. The user does not have to set up the conditions every time he wants to use the smart devices. The automated system is set up once and performs the required functions every time a similar condition arises.

·       Other functions: IoT devices can perform several more functions such as time-schedule operation, report generation, IFTTT, devices automation, and real-time alerts.

·       Switches: A smart light switch is the first step towards home automation. These switches are easy to use and can be controlled from a smartphone app or voice command. Whether you want to turn on/off the lights, fan, speaker, TV, AC, or any other appliance these switches are really helpful. When you return from work and don’t have more energy left to get up and turn on the fan, just with a touch your task is being done.

·       Gateways: As a smart home consist of multiple devices, all of them need to coordinate with each other to perform a specific task. For example, you want to create a customized scene with TV, lights, and AC. If the devices do not have a medium through which they can communicate, they all have to be turned on manually.

·       Controller: Controller is used to connecting all of the devices to the smartphone, and gives the user the facility to control them with a smartphone app. When devices are connected with the controller, it creates a smart home system. Whether you want to use a light, security camera, or a plug, all of this can be done with the help of smart home controllers.

·       Security: Security devices such as door, windows, and garage locks can be used to detect motion and alerts the user of the situation. With these IoT smart devices, you can keep an eye on your home from work and keep it secure from criminals. If your security devices detect any motion, you can create settings to trigger an alarm, which will be a warning sign to the criminal and he will leave the house.

·       Camera: IoT cameras are helpful to keep the homeowner updated about the happenings around the house. These cameras have night-vision and wide-angle lenses, that help record high-quality videos even in the dark. These IoT devices also allow the homeowner to view the real-time recording. By using a video doorbell camera, you can view who is it and the reason for arrival. If you have some deliveries, you can confirm them and look over them so they don’t get stolen.

·       Outlets: Smart outlets are plug-and-point IoT devices that help maintain the voltage flow. These devices are helpful when you are not around and there is an electricity failure. These devices turn off all the connected devices until there is a stable electricity flow to avoid short-circuit. 

What are the challenges faced by IoT smart home devices?

IoT devices face many challenges, as a smart home is a collection of different smart home devices it can cause a problem in communication. However, many solutions like gateways, Z-free networks and more are being introduced to connect devices with different network protocols and configurations. For example, you want lights to turn off after you have turned on the TV. The devices will have to work together to complete desired set of actions. If there is a network protocol problem, then the task will not be carried out as per user requirements. Smart home technology is now developed in a way, that it can be integrated with devices that have different network protocols so that the user’s task will be carried out without any delay. Another solution to this problem is that the company which develops smart home products should introduce other smart home devices as well so that the user will not have to face problems later on.
