Internet of Things (IoT) is currently one of the most popular technology trends out there. This is for a good reason, as IoT represents a set of innovative developments that could eventually result in nearly every digital device being connected to the Internet in some manner, including those in your very own smart home.

While the majority of today’s technology coverage is focused on futuristic and innovative developments such as smart cities and artificial intelligence, IoT technology is different because it is already easily accessible for everyone. Regardless of their technical experience, the average homeowner (or apartment renter) can now take full advantage of the power provided by IoT technology through the creation of their very own smart home.
