\nWhat Is IoT? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Internet of Things<\/a>, or IoT, means taking all the connected devices in the world and connecting them to the internet. By automatically collecting and sharing data, a new level of digital intelligence is added to these smart devices, enabling them to communicate real-time data without requiring any human interaction. Now, imagine the endless possibilities and advantages that can arise.<\/p>\n

The Internet of Things has made the world around us smarter and more responsive. Since its invention, IoT has done a pretty good job in merging the digital and physical world.
\nAnd at Legrand, we firmly believe that it\u2019s a technology that we must make the best use of, to give humanity an advantage. With IoT, we are beginning to reap the benefits of connectivity. The Internet of Things is changing lives. It is changing the way homes and offices are operating!<\/p>\n

#1 – How Does IoT Work? <\/strong><\/p>\n

An IoT system consists of sensors. These devices \u201ctalk\u201d to the cloud with the help of internet connectivity. Once the cloud receives the data and processes it, it might decide to perform an action, such as sending an alert or automatically adjusting the devices without authorisation from the user.
\nIf the user input is needed or if the user wants to check in on the system, the user interface allows them to do so. Any actions taken by the user are sent in the opposite direction through the system. It travels from the user interface to the cloud and back to the sensors.<\/p>\n

#2 – What Are IoT Connected Devices?<\/strong><\/p>\n

IoT involves extending internet connectivity beyond standard devices, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditional or non-internet-enabled physical devices. Embedded with technology, these devices can communicate and interact over the internet. They can be monitored and controlled.<\/p>\n

Connected devices are part of a structure in which every device talks to other related devices in an environment to automate home and industrial tasks. They communicate usable sensor data to users, businesses and other interested parties.<\/p>\n

#3 – How Big Is the Internet of Things? <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are already more connected things than people in the world! It is predicted that there will be around 41.6 billion connected IoT devices by 2025. Industrial and automotive equipment represents the most substantial opportunity for connected \u201cthings\u201d. There will also be a strong adoption of smart home and wearable devices in the future.<\/p>\n

#4 – Why Does IoT Matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When something is connected to the internet, that signifies that it can send and receive information. This ability to send and receive information makes devices smart. Smart is always good, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Imagine controlling the lights of your home from your phone or remote control to create an impression that you are inside for safety purposes, but in reality, you are on holiday<\/p>\n

Imagine turning on your air conditioner precisely 15 minutes before you reach your home to ensure perfect room temperature or<\/p>\n

Imagine recording your favourite show from wherever you are and watching it later<\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s what we call living the advantage, at Legrand.<\/p>\n
