Introduction
In the recent past electronics, electrical and electromagnetic devices were supporting all the
functions and activities which were associated with the day to day life (Gubbi et al., 2013).
Among them some devices were semi automated and some were fully automated. In present era,
due to advancement of the information and communication technology, trend is more towards
the automation phase wherein all the required day to day life functionalities can be carried out
with very less individual’s intervention (Kellyc et al., 2013). Therefore, the present report is
mainly focused on the beneficial of IOT and smart home network in day to day life activities.
The report also emphasizes on the explanation of the IOT devices uses in smart home.
IOT and home networks
According to the Sanchez et al., (2014), IOT i.e. internet of things is the word where virtual,
digital and real environments combine to make a smart society which makes the life style easy.
Due to advancement of the software and hardware system it is possible to communicate between
heterogeneous and homogeneous devices (Tao et al., 2014). From the users perspective internet
of thing makes the system more easy, flexible, convenient and cheap to handle all the devices
which are utilized at workplace and homes.

Due to advancement of the technology, today’s world is digitalized. Beginning from the handled
devices to smart appliance to computer system, world is digitalized. Thereby, smart home would
be better steps for the next future (Lee & Lee, 2015). The system is effectively controlled the
devices, appliances and lights; therefore it helps the users to reduce the power consumption. The
system mainly uses the internet technology to control the home appliances as well as the lights.
Apart from that switching on and switching off the lights, the system can effectively control via
ambient temperature sensor and can also adjust the weather inside the home. Moreover it helps
the users to control the appliance system from remote locations using hand held devices.
IOT benefits in day to day living Convenience is considered one of the biggest benefits of
smart homes and it provides the users to remote access to system such as culling and heating
system, multimedia and music system and intercoms devices throughout the dwelling. Therefore
the first and foremost advantage of smart phone is convenient as the users can access and
controlled several operations including temperature and lighting in easy and fast manner. In
addition to this, adoption of this technology helps the individuals to solve security related
problems as it offers high level of the security system (Xu, Wendt & Potkonjak, 2014).
Moreover it can help conserve energy and reduce the costs. Therefore the discussion shows that
use of the IOT technogly not only helps to simplify the activities of life but also helps them to
perform multiple tasks in a fast and easy manner.
