The vision of ‘smart homes’ is rapidly becoming a reality, largely powered by the Internet of Things (IoT)—a network of interconnected devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Web technologies play a crucial role in making this seamless. Web interfaces, whether accessible via a browser or a dedicated mobile app, are often the primary means by which users control their smart home devices (lighting, thermostats, security cameras, smart locks) and access the data they generate. For Võru County residents, embracing smart home technology can mean increased convenience, energy efficiency, and security. Imagine adjusting your home’s heating remotely from your phone while driving back from work, or receiving alerts if a door is left unlocked. Integration examples include web-controlled smart plugs, voice assistants linked to web services for information retrieval, and IoT hubs that create a unified web interface for all your devices. While the devices themselves are hardware, the ‘intelligence’ and user accessibility often stem from robust web interfaces and efficient cloud-based data processing, turning your Võru home into a truly connected and intuitive living space.
