THE INTERNET OF THINGS1.INTRODUCTIONa.Internet of ThingsInternet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology with the potential to be an essential part of the human environment and interaction in the near future. IoT can be defined in a technical way as the comprehensive network connecting the essential components around us to enable them to work together through sharing of the available resources (Krishna & Verma, 2016). A simpler definition looks at IoT as a concept that allows objects or devices around the human environment to communicate with each other in a cooperative manner through a special laid out schemes to achieve a common predefined goal (Takano & Kajikawa, 2016). The rapid growth of IoT is attributed to the desire for smart homes that rely on an IoT framework. This framework is referred to as smart home if the environment utilizing it is at home. The report looks to explore the different smart home framework that might be developed from commonly used consumer products. Different sets/groups of smart home frameworks will be explored, the issues that might emerge from them, the advantages that might be experienced and the disadvantages of the setup. In addition, an explanation of why IoT is essential and its growth will be described. Figures may be used to demonstrate the different sets that will be explained.b.IoT ConsumerismAs stated earlier, there has been a rapid interest to the application of IoT. The desired application of IoT in homes, academics, medicine, and the government has led to it to be an emerging technology (Takano & Kajikawa, 2016). However, the biggest share of application is inhomes, the trend of IoT in personal and social life is largely attributed to the desire to automate processes around us in a smart way which brings with it three desirable parameters; comfort, management and security (Celtek, Durgun & Soy, 2017). The precision brought about by devices when controlling and managing our environment as well plays a big role in energy saving. For

THE INTERNET OF THINGSinstance, having an automated system that will warm when cold and shut when hot, light up whendark and off when not and so on ensures that no unnecessary energy is lost. Studies have also shown that homes with automated systems pay lesser bills than those that control energy flow manually (Ray, 2015). As a result of these factors and many others, IoT consumerism is becoming a trending technology. 2.FRAMEWORK OF IoTThe framework consists of a number of components connected in a design that suits a specific home depending on the number of devices to be connected and the complexity of the connection. These components are held together to form a ring that delivers the basic concept of Interaction, Things, Process, and Data (ITPD) which provides the power to fuel the IoT process (Ray, 2015). Fig. 1 below shows an ITPD ring with all the components that provide enhancementover the functioning of the IoT. A 6C’s verdict consisting of Convergence in the system, Connectivityand Communication among the different components, Collection of Content and Computing are used to gauge the efficacy of the entire system (Ray, 2015). The core IoT system is surrounded by a number of interactivity between different high-level factors. These factors are IoT platforms such as e-government, a vertical application such as those used at home, technologies such as the entire smart system, infrastructure systems such as the mobile phones used, network topologies such as the wireless LAN to be used and foundation enablers such as cloud computing (Ray, 2015).
