IoT offers several benefits for consumers and businesses. For a business, an IoT device can help it understand its consumers and their choices, as the device constantly tracks usage and sends them the data required to build things that are needed.
For the user, an IoT device can give him real-time data based on his requirements, making it easier for him to take quick decisions.
It can also help him become more productive due to automation of tasks, leaving him with more time to focus on important things.
Examples of IoT at home
Here’s a simple example to understand how IoT can help you at home.
You have to be in school by 8 a.m. so you up on time, but it is pouring outside, there is heavy traffic and your school metro train is delayed due to technical issues. Unfortunately, you do not know that. Hence, you end up late to school.
If you have an IoT-enabled alarm clock at home, it would have known about the delayed schedule of the metro train and the traffic on the way to the station as it is connected to several other devices on the IoT platform. So, it would have woken you up earlier to prepare you for the traffic and the delayed train. All this, without you having to do a thing!
