                      In  today’s  fast-paced  world,  businesses  and individuals  are seeking  innovative  ways to  solve
                      problems  efficiently.  Smart  solutions  leverage technology,  data  and automation  to  optimise
                      processes, enhance decision-making and improve overall experiences. From smart homes and
                      AI-driven customer service to intelligent supply chains and predictive analytics, the integration of
                      smart technologies is transforming industries.

                                INTRODUCTION TO IOT AND ITS APPLICATIONS

                      The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected devices that can communicate
                      with each other and exchange data over the internet. These devices are equipped with sensors,
                      software and other technologies that help automate processes, improve efficiency and enhance
                      user experiences. IoT is widely used across various industries, including smart homes, healthcare,
                      transportation and industrial automation.

                      IOT IN SMART HOMES

                      IoT has revolutionised home automation by enabling devices to be controlled remotely and to
                      work together seamlessly. Some examples include:

                         ∑  Smart thermostats: These devices learn their users’
                          preferences and adjust heating/cooling automatically
                          to save energy, e.g., Nest, Ecobee.
