The scientific concept of the Internet of Things has existed approximately since the late 1990s.

The Internet of things will make our daily life much more comfortable: “smart” household appliances will monitor the house, “smart” medical devices will monitor a person’s physical condition. Modern concepts such as the “smart city” are also largely based on the capabilities of the Internet of Things. The most common example of the Internet of Things is smart home technology. Smart homes are those in which safety, energy saving and comfort are monitored by software that integrates household appliances into a single system using data transfer technology.
