So what do all the trending electronic gadgets have in common? What makes them the smartest device in the industry?

IoT (Internet of Things).

IoT is one of the latest technologies that is transforming the electronics industry as we see it. IoT is a simple, yet powerful technology that integrates the devices onto the cloud. This means, all the data collected by these devices will be sent to cloud for storage and analysis.

The collected data will provide us with valuable insights of a particular device. And the data can also be used to trigger various actuations based on conditions.

Understanding the importance of IoT technology, top industries around the globe had already started to implement it onto their operations to improve their efficiency and productivity.

Here is a sneak-peak about the latest IoT based electronic gadgets which you can own and make your life smarter,

August Smart Lock: If you are having hard time remembering whether you had locked your door or not? Then, this device will come in handy for you. The device can tell you the status of your lock using an IoT App. And it also can provide key codes to your friends and family if you are unavailable at that time. Plus, it supports auto lock feature which gets activated once you leave the house. Super cool isn’t it?

Tile: Today, the number of things (keys, phones to laptops) that we carry to our work routine had increased. And most of us go into panic mode checking whether everything is in the right place or not. Tile can help you intelligently in this using IoT. It is so small that you can have it as your key chain. Which means you can embed this to your laptop, mobile, wallet etc. and have real-time tracking with the help of IoT based mobile application. You can also loudly ring a lost item and find it by sound.

  5. Cloud-ready temperature sensor with the Arduino Uno (view details)
  6. An IoT Temperature Monitor for Balcony Garden (view details)
  7. Smart Irrigation System using IoT (view details)
  8. Temperature & Humidity Sensing using IoT (view details)
1. Weather Monitoring System using IOT:
With the temperature readings touching new heights, a lot of nature enthusiasts are in need of a device that can stream the temperature differences online. This particular IOT project solves this problem in an innovative manner. The project that you build will have a DHT (Digital Humidity Temperature) sensor which will record the temperature/humidity differences in the environment and sends the data to the Arduino Uno. All the data collected by the microcontroller will be sent to the cloud with the help of ESP-8266 (WiFi module). And the user can analyse the data from anywhere on earth. You can now build this Weather Monitoring System using IOT and Arduino right at your home with the kit we send you and using the excellent video based course.

2. Automated Street Lighting System using IOT:
With this IOT based project you will develop a mechanism to control street lights automatically based on the intensity of sunlight. This would result in saving a lot of power and maintaining an energy efficient street lighting system. The electronic device that is developed will facilitate the switching on/off of the street light based on the light intensity which is being constantly monitored by the LDR (Light Dependant Resistor) sensor. The data sent to the microcontroller will also be sent to the cloud for analysis to gain valuable insights about the energy consumption. You can now build your own Automated Street Lighting System using Arduino and IOT right at your home with the kit we send you and using the excellent video based course.
