IoT is a lot more pervasive in residential technology than ever before, and therefore the market for IoT devices has grown, too.
According to market researcher Gartner, 8.4 billion networked devices were in use last year; 31% more than last year. By 2020, estimates say it will already be 20.4 billion devices.
IoT is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators and connectivity to enable these things to connect and exchange data.
This creates opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, resulting in efficiency improvements, economic benefits, and reduced human intervention.
