Solutions

A Smart building is based on an intelligent network fabric to enable IoT products to communicate with each other and over the Internet, allowing remote sensing, control, or programming of an array of automated electronic devices in the home or building. For example, a homeowner on vacation can use a phone, tablet, or PC to arm a home security system, control temperature gauges, switch appliances on or off, control lighting, program a home theater or entertainment system, and perform many other tasks.

There are essential requirements for a Smart building: devices should have some level of intelligence, should be connected to each other and the cloud, should have the ability to split the application from the primary function of the device (for example, a stereo could broadcast an alert) and should be able to add new devices, apps, and services.
