Internet of Things (IoT) - Home Assistant 17 Feb 2019

According to Wikipedia, Internet of Things (IoT) is a heterogeneous network, formed predominantly by small devices (for e.g. sensors, home appliances, software, etc). This network allows the devices to communicate with each other to achieve some goals.

In a smaller scale and more domestic level, home automation can be seen as a realisation/implementation of IoT. If you are into technology gadgets, you probably won’t miss any of the smart electronics sold in store nowadays - such as the smart lighting solution (Philips hue, Xiaomi, IKEA Tradfri, etc), door/window/motion sensors, wireless door bell (Ring?), and all sorts of different small electronics that make you spent your whole weekend (or few months) in setting up this DIY home automation project.
