IoT is utilized in various aspects of everyday life to enhance intelligence and improve efficiency. In smart homes, gadgets such as smart bulbs, thermostats, and security cameras can be managed via smartphones. In healthcare, wearable fitness devices and remote monitoring tools assist in tracking health statuses as they happen.

Intelligent cities utilize IoT for managing traffic, collecting waste, and implementing smart streetlights to enhance urban life. In farming, automated irrigation systems and soil sensors assist farmers in improving crop management.
