IoT - The Internet of Things
June 13, 2019
The IoT, or the Internet of Things, refers to the ever-growing network of devices that feature internet connectivity, and communication that occurs between these devices and other Internet-enabled devices and systems. How does this fit in with LED lighting? Since lighting is used everywhere, IoT enabled lighting simplifies the creation of connected systems. Having an IoT enabled LED light in every room of a building can help create an overall smarter building with virtually unlimited capabilities. In fact, the human-centric lighting that we mentioned earlier could probably be most effectively implemented with IoT compatible lighting. However, that would hardly be the only IoT application. IoT compatible LED lighting could be the core of systems that optimize air conditioning and heating, power grid management, and even next-generation wireless communications.
