Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things
Smart applications based on artificial intelligence and IoT, such as personalization and predictive automation, improve the user experience and create added value for smart homes, making life safer, more convenient, easier, and more secure.
Artificial intelligence and IoT have recently become major drivers of smart home devices and automation growth. Smart living is no longer a luxury as home automation tools become cheaper with integrated AI and IoT.
Consumer electronics can now make intelligent and relevant recommendations for everything, including shopping lists, attending events, dining, hotel reservations, laundry, and wearables. This gives devices a new level of intelligence to help people better manage their daily tasks at home and anywhere in the world!
But before we go any further, what are AI and IoT? And how will these technologies change the future? See:
What is AI?
According to Britannica, artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of digital computers or computer-controlled robots to perform tasks usually associated with intelligent beings. This means you can automatically run personalized messages for users. Completing these tasks is based on information gathered or derived from the framework using various machine learning or deep learning algorithms. Thus, AI can think logically without emotion and make rational decisions without error. No breaks are needed; it works 24x7.
What is the Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to exchange data and connect with other devices and systems over the Internet. These devices range from simple household items to advanced industrial tools.
IoT enables devices/objects to perceive, sense and understand a situation or environment without relying on human assistance. Everything is connected, from everyday life, like kitchen appliances, light switches, smart thermostats, and driving and baby monitors, to the internet via embedded devices.
The power of AI and IoT integration
For smart homes, IoT systems send sensitive information to AI. AI then extracts information from this data and implements specific actions to reduce the need for human contact.
For example, it transforms raw data from smart devices connected to an IoT network into behavioral patterns relevant to each user's daily life. Over time, AI-embedded devices use this information to learn user behavior and predict experiences.
When AI and IoT seamlessly integrate, smart devices can respond remotely to user voice commands or pre-programmed AI commands. Many industry players, such as Apple, Google, and Amazon, focus on building smart home automation or AI assistants.
Here are some real-world examples of how AI and IoT will transform the smart home as we know it.
Artificial intelligence can open doors and identify consistent access patterns from different users to provide insights and identify suspicious activity. When homeowners are away, AI and IoT devices can automatically turn off fans, lights, and lock doors, providing energy efficiency and added security.
Various devices and systems behave as smart devices when connected to IoT applications, including lighting, refrigerators, AC, stoves, water supply, power, and security systems. Here, AI is a system that collects, analyzes, and makes decisions to operate automatically.
A smart stove or oven can use an AI system to estimate the food's temperature and automatically reduce it to avoid major accidents. The technology also can notify the user when food is ready to be removed from the oven or oven.
AI also learns and visualizes user needs. For example, a smart kitchen can preheat and configure appliances to ensure a smooth cooking process. until the user returns home.
The potential of IoT and AI is not limited to new homes. The switch becomes a smart switch, and the AC can be modified to allow remote access via a smart or AI application connected to a cloud server.
The future of the smart home
Both IoT and AI are powerful tools that can make homes smarter. These technologies are the perfect combination for a smart home that saves time and increases efficiency. Today's smart home is ideal for the tech-savvy and those who want to be more economical, energy efficient, and safer. IoT and AI are doing amazing things in the smart home automation market, and the best is yet to come! As technology advances, the smart home's possibilities are endless.
