You may have heard the term Internet of Things….but has anyone explained what this is? The Internet of Things (Commonly referred to as “IoT”) is the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure.

It is expected that 26 – 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of Things by the year 2020.

Since smart home devices have intelligence and connectivity to the internet, this product category is a huge opportunity for growth to lighting and electrical professionals looking to grow their revenue.
