automation i.e. IOT (Internet of Things). It refers to the

connections of several sensors forming a network


II. IOT SYSTEM AND ITS OBJECTIVES
where the sensors communicate with each other

directly or through other network like internet and

perform its operation accordingly. This technology is

growing bigger and bigger day by day. There are about

8.4 billion IoT devices at present and it is estimated to

cross 20.4 billion by 2020.There are certain devices

which acts as hub for these IOT devices such as Google

home mini, Amazon echo etc. Many companies are


The objectives of IoT devices are
presently working on this field to bring a new

innovation in the near future. • Connect with devices on network.

• Interact with devices by transmitting and

mined using data mining techniques.

• These data can be further studied by an

III. IOT FOR HOME

A Smart home is a home equipped with lighting, 2. There are smart bulbs and lightings like
heating, and electronic devices that can work Mansaa smart shine , Syska smart bulbs etc
automatically or be controlled remotely by smartphone which can be controlled through an app from
or computer. In simple words, A Smart Home refers to our smart phones .These bulbs provide other

For example, Bluetooth mode (where the operation can be

controlled through Bluetooth by connecting

in the database of the smart locks.

These smart locks use a face detection

algorithm that runs in the backend as soon as

some person starts looking at the camera

which can be implemented using raspberry pi

above but there are many other applications of IoT and

it is growing enormously day by day.

Disadvantages of IoT:

• Make humans lazy as everything can be

managed and maintained automatically or

through smart phones sitting at a single place

far away from the sensors.

• Hackers and fraudsters may hack into our IoT

system and change codes which may lead to

weaken the security of our IoT system.

• A very high technical knowledge of both

computer science and electronics is required to

design IoT systems.

V. CONCLUSION
IoT helps humans in many ways but the main thing
is that the IoT systems should be developed in a
way such that it should not be vulnerable to any
attacks.More over we should make use of
technology in a proper way to make our work
easier and faster but we should not be fully
dependent on them.
