Abstract
The impact of smart home systems underlined with IoT technology has been considered to have
gained immense popularity in the recent times. Presently, increasing number of homes are in the
process of adopting smart home products to suffice to their various essential needs. These
devices could be controlled with the smartphone, which further helps customers to monitor the
functions performed by the devices in the environment. With the advancement in such intelligent
products in the technology market, it can be discussed that such products would be highly helpful
for shaping the culture maintained by consumers. The following discussion would focus on
different literatures for understanding the concepts underlined within the technology and the
views, which have been presented by authors.

1. Introduction
Internet of Things (IoT) can be termed as a proliferating concept, which relates its usage
to the Internet sector. With the rising trends of increase usage of smart computing devices, users
have majorly shifted their focus from the traditional systems and have initiated the use of such
efficient devices for meeting their daily purposes. Thus, the technology has formed a major
factor for the creation of opportunities and thus ensure for the creation of a competitive
marketplace. Devices incorporated within the IoT framework possess the capability for adapting
in a dynamic environment and according to the changing scenarios while also taking actions
according to the operating conditions.
The topic for the discussion has primarily been chosen for understanding the changing
contexts of technology from a broad perspective while understanding the most crucial aspects as
focused from the works of other authors during researching over the context. The present paper
would also focus on the works of other authors based on presenting a research focused on the
importance of IoT smart devices, which would be used in homes. The paper clearly intends for
defining for a scalable and clear concept for the smart device, as researched and presented for
further understanding.
2. Definition of IoT Smart Device Concept
IoT based smart devices can be considered as the core technological form within the
internet environment. One of the core understanding of the IoT technological aspect behind the
IoT connected devices is the way in which they would be able to interact with different devices
within a certain connected framework. Silverio-Fernández, Renukappa and Suresh (2018) have

focused on the primary features within the study based on a device, which could be termed as
“smart” by understanding and relating the concepts of autonomy, connectivity and context-
awareness with the device. Hence, the paper helps in addressing the primary concept of smart
devices within the IoT paradigm. The concept, which has been developed throughout the paper
could be considered as scalable and modular, which could further suggest that new features
could be added within the “smart device” term.
With the expansion of new technologies, the number of data generated and the associated
connected devices have also increased at a huge rate. The present architecture as underlined by
IoT system have been playing a significant role within the type of communication established by
the IoT devices. The IoT have aligned themselves with the concept of Internet, while it is a
concept that could be considered as under major and continuous development. Ogudo, Muwawa
Jean Nestor, Ibrahim Khalaf and Daei Kasmaei (2019) in this research have also focused one of
the fundamental concepts underlying within IoT, which is Machine-to-Machine Communication
(M2M). The discussion as focused by the authors have helped in introduction of the concept for
IoT while establishing a focus on connected devices and data analytics impacted by machine
learning.
