It is a smart home automation system that includes a communication hub that is compatible with the IP-accessible devices, Z-Wave and ZigBee protocols (Sicarin et al., 2015).
It is one of the best color-changing smart bulbs, which are more efficient and brighter than any other bulb, which can be used within the dwelling to improve experience. It does not need any hub so it can be kept at any place and change the mood by changing color of the whole surrounding. It also supports mobile application system in manner to control the device using any mobile device and is integrated with Alexa and IFTTT that enables better user interface and automation to control the color and intense of the light (Tang, 2017).
It is a robot vacuum with best performance than any other device with remote control functionality. Previous version was not remote controlled device but in its new launch it is incorporated with remote control technology that enables using the vacuum with a simple mobile application. Even the cost is high but it is less than any other product of the competitors (Kaminski et al., 2016).

It provides a plus benefit of free online video storage.
The enablement of basic technology services and high speed internet for business, commercial or home purpose in the developing countries are raising certain usage issues with the application of IoT devices (Yoon, Park & Yoo, 2015). There would be no value of devices until and unless there is a basic infrastructure is in the surrounding (Ivanus & Iovan, 2016). Using IoT devices within the Dwelling leads to several layers of complexity that includes user should have proper knowledge on how to use the devices.
There are not any existing legal laws that can address the exposures like security issues that are rising due to the gamut of devices that are connected to each other. The IoT devices have much complex accountability issues, which leads towards the issues, raised lies in whether the current liability laws will be extended for devices or not (Condry & Nelson, 2016).
The exchange of information should take place within the IoT devices that are interconnected to each other in an ideal environment. But the actual scenario is not the same as it is inherently becoming much complex and becoming dependent on the various levels of communication protocols are being on stacks between these IoT devices that raised connectivity issues with its application in the real world (Borgia, 2014).
There are security issues related to the application IoT devices in the real world as if it not properly secured, and then it becomes vulnerable to cyber-attacks that might lead to misusing the devices and cause harm to the users and also cause harm to the devices that are connected in the same network. Cyber-attacks can lead towards the loss of personal data to the individuals a user not want to expose and the trust factor will be ended between the technology and the user (Hossain, Fotouhi & Hasan, 2015). An analyst firm Gartner stated that the “IoT security market will reach $348 million in 2016, a rise of 23.7% from $281.5 million in 2015”.
The possibility of tracking and surveillance of people by government and private agencies increases as the devices are constantly connected to the internet. These devices collect user data without their permission, analyze them for purposes only known to the parent company. The social embrace of the IOT devices leads people to trust these devices with collection of their personal data without understanding the future implications (Borgohain et al., 2015).
By the growth of internet access across globally at the various sectors of the developing countries along with cheap prices for sensors and microprocessors will lead to the accessibility to the households who have low income. There should be proper rules and regulation according to the law for both the organization producing devices and for the customers who are affecting in negative manner by the usage of IoT devices. This will help in eliminating or minimizing the connectivity issues related to the use of IoT devices (Sicari et al., 2015). In manner to evade the scenarios related to the security and privacy issues of the individual, ensuring the security is extremely critical including the reliability and resilience of internet applications in manner to promote the devices that works on enabling internet usage among different users across the world (Yoshigoe et al., 2015).
There are several other measures that could be helpful in mitigating the raised issues like embedding security at various layers like risk management, network and endpoint user approach, application and data and many more. Proper agreement should be made between the user and the product distributor about the specifications and warranty of the device with a long-term agreement (Stankovic, 2014). Another approach could be the revolv’s approach that can be helpful in enabling the customers to buy the products that are best and integrated with latest and advanced hardware and software.
Conclusion:
Based on the above report it can be concluded that IoT devices applications are increasing rapidly and enhancing every activity in automated way with better efficiency and easy manner. Information technology has become the integral part of the life so there is not any way to stop using those technologies in our daily life operations. The devices mentioned in the above report are capable of transforming all the manual activities into automated system and eliminate the efforts that could have consumed during for the processing. Most of the technologies uses wireless connectivity, which raises to certain privacy and security issues as wireless technology are more vulnerable to be misused or breached. The issues that have been stated in the above report can be raised cannot be eliminated completely but can be minimized with certain efforts that has also been depicted in the above report.
