With the advancement in the Artificial Intelligence area and machine to machine communication where devices and appliances are constantly connected improved drastically the efficiency of the smart home systems.
This thesis paper will talk about in what ways the Internet of Things in Energy Management can improve efficiency, increase cost savings, increase reliability of power supply, provide a necessary data that can help with monitoring of the energy consumption, it will also explain the terms like KNX system, it will go over the existing companies like Verv and Kinestral, what kind of product they have and in which way do they use their technology to get society familiar with IoT. Finally, the survey will be conducted which will examine the people habits and willingness of making a change in their consumer point of view.
