Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is an all-encompassing concept of technology becoming pervasive or ubiquitous in the world, to the point that nearly every object is connected via network to every other object.

SmartHome

SmartHome is the term commonly used to define a residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio & video systems, security, and camera systems that are capable of communicating with one another and can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from any room in the home, as well as remotely from any location in the world by phone or internet.

Installation of smart products give the home and its occupants various benefits — the same benefits that technology and personal computing have brought to us over the past 30 years — convenience and savings of time, money and energy.

Home Automation

Home Automation is an integrated approach to remote and/or automatic management of a home's digital appliances, ranging from everyday usage appliances such as Refrigeration systems, Alarm Systems, Heating Systems or Air Conditioners, to occasional use appliances such as Toasters, Microwaves, Washers and Dryers, and from everyday usage electronics such as Personal Computers, Telephone Systems or Televisions to occasional usage electronics such as Home Theatre Systems, Video Game Systems or Stereos.

Smart Buildings

Smart Buildings (also Smart Enterprise) is all about the efficient integration of the traditionally separate systems required to run a building or network of buildings. Integration in a Smart Building begins with a common IT backbone or infrastructure; the majority of buildings utilize separate and usually proprietary systems that have their own controls, protocol, cabling, and HMI. In this regard open source or at least proprietary with external facing APIs or Web Services is a requirement to make the interoperability of building functions possible. Once individual building systems are integrated onto one network they can be monitored and controlled by a single interface, accessible via a secure Web browser (i.e. Desktop/native Application, Web Application, Dashboard or Portal) for unlimited user access. Additional use of a network operating center (NOC) allows for 24/7 monitoring and control of an unlimited number of equipment, systems, and buildings by personnel with the proper training and skill set.

Smart Data Center

A "Smart" Data Center differs from a typical data center in that it primarily concerned with Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), namely, how much computing power can it offer for a given amount of energy input. Cost-savings calculations are done by multiplying PUE by kWh and Utilization Rate (as a % of throughput the hosted applications get):

PUE x kWh x Utilization Rate

For example, if a Data Center has a PUE rating of 1.4 and 1 kilowatt (kW) of load consumes 722 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month with 80% utilization of the hosted apps, then there is a $8.09/kW savings per month (1.4 * 722 * 0.8 = 809)..

• PUE and DCiE Data Center Efficiency Measurement and Benchmarking: http://www.42u.com/measurement/pue-dcie.htm

Smart City

A Smart City (also smarter city) uses digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Key 'smart' sectors include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. A smart city should be able to respond faster to city and global challenges than one with a simple 'transactional' relationship with its citizens. Interest in smart cities is motivated by major challenges, including climate change, economic restructuring, the move to online retail and entertainment, ageing populations, and pressures on public finances.

• Smart cities will house 9.7 billion IoT devices by 2020 says Gartner: http://www.zdnet.com/article/smart-cities-will-house-9-7-billion-iot-devices-by-2020-gartner/

Smart Dust

The perhaps border-line terrifying and dystopic "Smart Dust" concept is that small sensors, transmitters, receivers, and/or transceivers could be mass manufactured for various purposes, primarily tracking & surveillance of everything within a given "Smart City".

• Smart Dust Is Coming. Are You Ready?: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2018/09/16/smart-dust-is-coming-are-you-ready/

Smart Environment

A Smart Environment is a network of sensor nodes and/or monitoring tools, equipment and management software for a part of the world's natural resources and environment.

A prime example of this is the Neil Young-backed project to hookup a network of Solar Panel-powered old cellphones which monitor the status of the rainforest to detect sounds such as chainsaws, tractors (illegal logging/clear-cutting activity prevention) or gunshots, traps and irregular herd stampeding-type movements (illegal hunting/poaching activity prevention).

• See: Wireless Sensor Networks

Smart Agriculture

"Smart Agriculture" is the use of technologies such as plant monitoring (soil pH/acidity/alkalinity, nutrient levels, moisture, rooting rate, etc) and various automations such as automated watering, positioning & rotating (relative to heat/light/water sources for indoor agriculture, hydroponics, etc), picking/harvesting (based on optimal timing for freshness/ripeness), cleaning and possibly even packaging for transport.

• For more, see Agriculture
• "Smart Greenhouse" Market Size And Forecast: https://www.verifiedmarketresearch.com/product/global-smart-greenhouse-market-size-and-forecast-to-2025/

Smart Items

Pretty much any other type of thing could be made somewhat "Smart" by having a sensor and/or networking capabilties added to it. One of the cheapest wayd to do this (on a per item basis) is with RFID or NFC tags. Another similar, but more "consumer-friendly" way is with trackers

Stringify

A competitor to IFTTT, Stringify allows more complex rules and integration options than simple IF this THEN that. So for instance you could chain or nest many IF statements, or, you could have composite rules such as IF this but NOT this happens, then do these multiple things.

SnApp Stores

According to the Ubuntu site: "Snappy Ubuntu Core is a new rendition of Ubuntu with transactional updates - a minimal server image with the same libraries as today’s Ubuntu, but applications are provided through a simpler mechanism. The snappy approach is faster, more reliable, and lets us provide stronger security guarantees for apps and users".
