Great Examples of the
Internet of Things
 The Nest. This is a smart thermostat that is connected to the internet, of course. It
helps make your house more efficient by monitoring when you are asleep or
awake, hot or cold, in the house or out of the house. It changes the temperature
accordingly. This helps you save tremendously on energy bills. It helps learn your
preferences.
 The smart plug and insight switch. The smart plug is connected to your
smartphone and turns on and off when you hit the button on your smartphone. It
can also be given a schedule of when it should be turned on or off. The insight
switch records how much energy your devices are using.
 Phillips Hue smart bulbs. This bulb is much more intelligent than an ordinary bulb.
It can be turned on and off to fit schedule, connected to your smartphone.
These bulbs can also be joined with your music to create a fun music and light
party.
 The Apple Smart Watch. This watch allows you to leave your phone behind and
still make calls, text, listen to music and many more things that you would usually
need your phone for. You can even ask Siri to send a message. Stay connected
when your phone is not by your side.
 QueueHop. This is where smart tags are attached to the items on sale. After the
payment is done, they are unclipped automatically.
 Multiple wearables. They monitor and track heart rate, sleep, caloric intake, and
many other metrics to help keep our overall health and fitness in check.
