Tracing the history of the Wise home

in #dxchain6 years ago

I will trace the history of the Wise home and try to Contextualize where the smart home movement sits in the bigger technology class, the Internet of Things.

I remember coming home in the dead of winter and huddling with blankets on the couch until the place warmed up. The use case for a thermostat that could be available over the Internet was so obvious; I wondered why it took me so long. It would have been prohibitively expensive for me to heat a weekend house during the week, and a timer wouldn't work, as I was never really sure I was going to be in the house on a weekend. The ideal solution, a thermostat which could be remotely accessed from a smartphone over the Internet to turn on the heat as I'm on the highway and a couple of hours away from getting home.

It is a thermostat that is connected to the wireless network in your dwelling. There is a corresponding downloadable program for your Android or iPhone that, when you open it, shows you the temperature of the space. If you've got multiple zones in your home, you can see the temperature in each zone. You can even find the temperature outside of your house. Best of all, there is a friendly interface that lets you adjust the temperature upwards or downwards.

You'd be forgiven if you thought the it was the first Instance of a connected device that was part of the smart home. The truth is that people have been talking about and building some variation of an intelligent home for decades. When I refer to a smart house, I am referring to a house featuring intelligent technology that simplifies and automates everyday activities such as turning on lights, locking the door, lowering colors, and, yes, changing the settings on your thermostat. You can call any apparatus “smart" that is capable of doing something autonomously. A smart thermostat automatically adjusts down the heat if there isn't any movement in my house. That is what makes it autonomous.

Fast forward to 2011 and Nest and also a time when most folks you knew had a wise phone. While Nest wasn't the first intelligent thermostat, they caught the technology community's creativity with a clever interface and by putting a Wi-Fi___33 chip within their thermostat which connected it to the net. I could finally heat up my home from the road. Big businesses and startups alike began to concentrate on what other devices, if connected to the Internet, could capture the public's attention and gain mass adoption.

The smart home space fascinates me; first, since it promises to transform the way we live. Second, because it has been in the cusp of taking off for decades.

Think about smart houses as places where people live that contain Devices connected to the Internet. Firms write software to program these devices all with a design to make your life easier. Let us imagine for a moment all the places you may want connected devices beyond the house. A car might have a system that monitors where it goes along with the wear and tear on the wheels. This could all be reported back to the cloud, sharing with the driver at some later date that's it's time to realign or change the tires. Machinery inside a factory might send out a report of the performance and subsequently be adjusted to increase the output of whatever the mill is making. The Fitbit bracelet on your wrist catches your steps and can indicate what you need to do to enhance your wellbeing. All of these examples are smart devices. And all of them, including devices that make up the wise home category, are part of the bigger category the Internet of Things, or IoT. .

There has been research on wireless sensor networks for decades, and the Internet of Things is fundamentally a wireless sensor network that is now connected to the Internet.

National or government viewpoint, you've got major issues like global warming, national security, and energy management. Conceivably, the Internet of Things can help, if not to prevent them, to at least improve things.... If you are able to handle energy better and increase energy efficiency, you can reduce energy consumption and so the effect on the environment, and perhaps hold off global warming or at least slow it down. With the growth in global terrorism, some of it caused by the Internet itself, the ability to be able to better monitor
One more example of what a smart house community could be able of, if all the homes were connected to a central network and communicating with one another. Decentralization is a means of bringing us closer and all these Benefits through IOT are achievable through blockchain technologies like Dxchain.
