Internet of Things: encouraging collaboration
Posted: 24th May 2016
Having previously looked at the massive growth expected across the IoT market, before considering the impact on different sectors within the AV industry, we conclude by revealing the collaboration benefits and security concerns, writes Steve Montgomery.
A major benefit of the IoT is in bringing together disparate disciplines and enabling them to collaborate and share data with the over-arching controller. Sam Woodward, customer education leader, Europe and Africa at Lutron says: ?Combining data from different types of sensor extends the capability of individual controllers and allows action to be taken across the whole spectrum of controlled devices. For example occupancy and usage in a building can be detected and monitored by PIR sensors, thermostat settings, computer and display device usage, door and entry management contacts and so on. Once the controller has established that a room or house is unoccupied, it can manage all devices in the corporate environment or simulate homeowner activity to augment security; switching lights, AV devices and other devices automatically while the owner is away.?
