Introduction
 Internet of things refers to the connectivity of internet with different equipments in home which
ease in conducting operations with more frequently. Internet of things is the aspects which
makes extensive use of internet connection in daily life.
 These days, there is more use of internet connection through which working efficiency can be
maintained because of less time in performing daily routine work.

Literature Review
Concept of smart home environment
According to Chandler Clayton, 2018 smart home refers to different home appliances which are
relevant as per today's requirement. It is important and significant to understand alteration
which are positive appropriate as per society development. In smart technology, there is easy
use of lighting, electricity, temperature, etc. is in control of owner. While at the same time,
television, computer, stereo, coffee pot, etc. It is easy to use different technologies with remote
control. Home can be made smart with use of internet friendly techniques which assist in

Impact on daily life activities in smart home environment due to internet of things
There are different techniques which can be used with the help of IOT such as television, air
conditioner, curtain, etc. which are access with the help of remote. There is requirement of
different sources i.e. smart tube-light, washing machine, camera, gate, etc. with the help of
which individual can keep these things handy and can access easily. According to Puneet Mehta,
2019 there are different areas such as health related, turning car, grocery list, energy
consumption, etc. which has to be considered in day to day lie which get affected with internet
of things. There is positive impact on daily life activities of individuals with smart techniques
because owner can access home appliance with mobile phones through internet connectivity.

Things that internet of things brings for improving daily life activities of an individual
There are different things which gets easy for individuals at home with use of internet of things
such as lock, washing machine, camera, smart watch, etc. It is important to use internet of
things because this maintains positive environment at home and assist in measuring security.
There are many changes which are taking place in technology because of up- gradations, so in
this case, it is responsibility of owner to understand its use and upgrade relevantly.
Camera assist individuals to keep security controlled because they have access of their in their
mobile phones, so they can analyse properly what is happening when owner are not present at
home. Smart washing machines are used in which clothes are washed and dry with use of
internet connectivity.

Manner in which Internet Of Things supported in improving the home environment
IOT are the techniques through which there is use of different technologies which assist in
performing operations with the help of internet. There are some changes in internet of
things which assist in improving home environment. With the help of using smart
technology under internet of things, there is more security, integrity, confidentiality,
authenticity and availability, etc. There are different home equipments such as Smart lock,
Smart bulb, Remote control curtains, Wireless internet connection , etc. which can be used
for smooth and smart working.

Research Aim and Objectives
Aim:
To identify the activities of daily life in smart home environment with Internet of Things.
Objective:
 To understand the concept of smart home environment.
 To determine the impact on daily life activities in smart home environment due to internet of things.
 To identify the things that internet of things brings for improving daily life activities of an individual.
 To identify the manner in which Internet Of Things supported in improving the home environment.

Research Questions
 Do you understand the concept of smart home environment?
 What is the impact on daily life activities in smart home environment due to internet of things?
 What are the things that internet of things brings for improving daily life activities of an individual?
 What are the different ways in which Internet Of Things supported in improving the home environment?

Research Methodology
 Primary information is one handed information and it is collected by researcher himself/ herself
so this is time and cost consuming approach. Questionnaire, survey, personal interview and
focus group to collect primary information. Secondary information is collected through sources
which is already collected by someone else.
 It is consider as an important process that used by investigator to examining the data by using
statistical and analytical tools. It help investigator in decision making activities within the
research.

Contd....
 For this investigation, Deductive approach is appropriate because this covers major concept
initially and then focus on small things, so it is easy to understand internet of things in proper
and appropriate manner.
 Descriptive research design is used in this investigation because with the help of it full
information about research can be achieved. This makes clear understanding in mind of reader
about each and every aspect.
 For performing this investigation, qualitative investigation is used under which there is no use
of technical and mathematical models. Hence reader can easily understand what is specified
under it.

Contd....
 Sampling is the procedure under which number of candidates are chosen for gathering
information from them about internet of things. Probability and non probability are ways of
sampling. For this investigation, simple random probability sampling method is availed
because this is the easiest and simplest method to collect information. 30 respondents are
selected for collecting primary information for internet on things and its impact on home
environment.
 It is crucial for research to undertake research in ethical manner. If they did the same then they
easily make study more reliable and authentic. Both terms are crucial for research activities in
improving authenticity of research activities.

Data Collection
For making investigation, complete and reliable, there is requirement of information on the basis
of which decision is taken. Data collection and analysis is important and crucial step while
conducting investigation, so researcher have to collect information from different ways. There
are two sources for collecting information i.e. primary and secondary.

Recommendations
 There are different features in internet of things, so consumers must disable it if they do not
want it. Software must be updated when new system is launched through which it is easy to
perform routine activities.
 Consumers does not use public networks for their routine work in home. There must be limited
people with whom password of Wi- Fi have to be shared and it must be changed time to time
which makes confidentiality and privacy in proper manner.

Conclusion and Future Work
 In current market, changes are taking place with rapid speed, hence use of IOT is relevant in
current market. In current market, there is use of techniques such as smart watch, TV, camera
operated through mobile phones, locking style, etc. in home with the help of which people can
maintain their living standards.
 In future, if research topic is complex, then information will collected through personal
interview because questionnaire is time consuming process. In future study will be done on
ways through which negative impact if IOT can be reduced.
