The Internet of Things is all about adding wireless connectivity into large numbers of our everyday objects. These range from the more obvious (e.g. utility meters), the more frivolous (e.g. toasters) to the sublime (e.g. your umbrella).
Once connected and paired up with an App and some intelligence in the Cloud, you can expect some useful insights that help lifestyle management – powering down unused electrical equipment, ordering more bread or reminding you to take your umbrella when rain is forecast.
