It is a smart thermostat that automatically adjusts temperature in your home to help you save on your heating and cooling bills. It is connected to the Internet and controlled by an app that sends alerts when it looks like something has gone wrong with your cooling or heating system.

There are thousands of IoT devices in the market today and experts predict that more will be developed in coming years. This will allow us to move toward a future where devices are smarter, we’re more in control, and we’ll be able to leverage technology to create more efficient, intelligent machines.
