Smart homes -
A smart home refers to a convenient home setup where appliances and devices can be automatically controlled remotely from anywhere with an internet connection using a mobile or other networked device.
A home equipped with lighting, heating, and electronic devices that can be controlled remotely by smartphone or computer.�“you can contact your smart home on the internet to make sure the dinner is cooked, the central heating is on, the curtains are drawn, and a gas fire is roaring in the grate when you get home”

Benefits of Smart Home

Keeps Your Home Secure. One of the greatest benefits of a home automation system is automated door locks.
Smart homes allow you to have greater control of your energy use, all while automating things like adjusting temperature, turning on and off lights, opening and closing window treatments, and adjusting irrigation based on the weather.
Smart homes provide insights into energy use that can help you become more energy efficient and mindful of ecological factors.

RECOMMENDED ACTIVITY:

To write an Interactive Story

Learners to draw a floor plan of a Home/School/City and write an interactive story around it using Story Speaker extension in Google Docs.

Smart building - A smart building is one that uses technology to enable efficient and economical use of resources, while creating a safe and comfortable environment for occupant. Smart building may uses of wide range of existing technologies and are designed or retrofitted in a way that allows for the integration of future technology development. Internet of Things (IOT) sensors, building management system, artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality are amongst some of the mechanisms and robotics that may be used in a smart building to control and optimize it’s performance.

Benefits of Smart Buildings

1. Reduce energy consumption

Usually it reduces the energy consumption in a building by around 5% -35% with significant financial savings, as well as a much more efficient and effective approach to meeting green goals.

2. Improve building efficiency

Sensors also help to identify overused and underused areas in the building, providing the opportunity to optimize space utilization, which in turn can facilitate growth.

3. Predictive maintenance

Sensors can detect building performance and activate maintenance procedures before an alert is triggered.

4. Increase productivity

Smart buildings make people more productive by continually monitoring building use and adjust systems to ensure that occupants have the facilities that they need.

5. Better use of resources

The data generated by a smart building provides key insights that can be fed into planning and make use of resources more efficient.

SMART CITIES -

A smart city is an urban area that uses different types of electronic methods and sensor to collect data. Insight gained from that data are used to manage assets, resources and services efficiently ; in return that data is used to improve the operation across the city .
A smart cities uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve operational efficiency, share information with the public and provide a better quality of government services and citizen welfare… Confident and progressive city plans .

COMPONENTS OF SMART CITIES -

Components of smart city include smart people, smart governance, smart homes, smart infrastructure, smart technology, smart ecosystem, smart economy, smart mobility, smart living and smart environment.

Two closely related technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data or Internet of data play very crucial roles in transforming the traditional cities into smart cities. These two are the perfect blend in bringing an interesting and novel challenge to attain a futuristic smart city. Besides this, everyone is needed to be online to access all the services in order to realize the full benefits of IoT.

Benefits of Smart Cities

Air quality tester. Safer cities. Smart city technology like Wi-Fi, IoT, and surveillance cameras can improve resident safety and increase incident response times.
Smart technology can provide cities with predictive analytics to identify the areas that need to be fixed before the infrastructure failures. These can help cities to save massive tax and prevent infrastructure failure.

How do smart homes fit into smart cities?

The smart homes are gaining popularity these days, with lots of famous companies working to improve this technology and create connection with the smart city. Without automatization, the future will be bleak.
A network of interconnected sensors and systems form the basis of any smart city. These sensors form the Internet of Things (IoT), a legion of digitally connected devices recording and analyzing streams of data gathered from the everyday goings-on of city life and acting upon it to improve facilities, processes and the overall life of its citizens.

How data helps to smart homes to become smarter

Smart Homes makes use of AI, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as connected sensors, lights, and meters to collect and analyze data. This data is used in making the effective use of home infrastructure, utilities and more to ease up the everyday life effectively and efficiently.
With the integration of AI and IoT, Smart Homes only cater to the tech-savvy but also help with saving energy costs and higher security very significantly. So, Smart homes give ease of satisfaction and a sense of security for the next level of high-tech living.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Energy consumption refers to ALL the energy used to perform an action, manufacture something or simply inhabit a building. In a factory, total energy consumption can be measured by looking at how much energy a production process consumes, for example, by making car parts. This will include water, electricity, gas.
In a factory, total energy consumption can be measured by looking at how much energy a production process consumes, for example, by making car parts. This will include water, electricity, gas…any energy source needed for the stuffed animals to be made.

WATER MANAGEMENT

AI can make the process of water management easier with data analytics, regression models, and algorithms. These cutting-edge technologies help in building efficient water systems and networks. AI can be used to build water plants and to get the status of water resources.

HEALTH MANAGEMENT

IOT technology makes a transparency of information and distributes the accurate and current information to patients. This lead the fewer accidents from miscommunication, better preventive care, and improved patient satisfaction.

SMART CAMERA (SURVIELLANCE)

A smart camera (sensor) or intelligent camera (sensor) or (smart) vision sensor or intelligent vision sensor or smart optical sensor or intelligent optical sensor or smart visual sensor or intelligent visual sensor is a machine vision system which, in addition to image capture circuitry, is capable of extracting.
