Smart, Connected and IoT Based Devices.What’s The Di�erence?
It has become appallingly obvious that our
technology has exceeded our humanity –
Albert Einstein
Is humanity getting smarter with smart devices, smart technologies and
smart cities?

If everything around us is getting smarter then why do we have topush the button?
With information overload everywhere — are these new smart
connected devices making our lives easier? Do you feel more
productive and healthier now?
Have you noticed how di�erent manufacturers are selling these
devices? Some are smart, others are connected and some are IoT based.
There is some confusion around the di�erence among them and their
de�nition overlaps too.
Smart DeviceThey provide some level of automation and can be programmed for
some speci�c use. Most smart device have some local computing with
intuitive user interface.

Though con�guration �exibility is limited, but they are fast and
e�cient in doing what they expected to do. Think smart co�ee
machine — with press of few con�gurable buttons it can wake you up in
the morning with a ready cup of hot co�ee.
Another example is smart thermostat that maintains the temperature
of your room. Earlier, smart devices were not required to connect to
network and used to work autonomously but now most smart devices
are connected — blurring the line between smart and connected device.
Smart bulb, smart speaker, smart thermostat or smart security cameras
are connected device.
Connected Device
Remotely controlled and monitored. Mobile app on your mobile can be
used connect the device. You can brew your co�ee by giving
instructions from your mobile phone and once the co�ee is ready you

IoT devices are creating smart cities, smart factories and smart homes.
You get smart door locks that can be opened by mobile, luggage tracker
so that you don’t lose your laptop bag at the airport, plants irrigation
sprinkler & controller, AWS IOT programmable dash buttons
They create more value than smart or connected devices- because they
are more scalable, upgradable, automated and future ready.
AWS IoT Button
You can code the button’s logic in the cloud to con�gure button clicks to
count or track items, call or alert someone, start or stop something,
order services, or even provide feedback. For example, you can click the
button to unlock or start a car, open your garage door, call a cab, call
your spouse or a customer service representative, track the use of
common household chores, medications or products, or remotely
control your home appliances.
There are many DIY projects that you do with AWS IoT Button

Smart devices pull a lot personal data from your phone, wearable,
smart TV and refrigerators. Another issue is, since these devices are
connected to manufacturer network using internet and cloud — this
causes high risk or private data leak and other vulnerabilities.
Imagine, you installed some application on your smart TV and that
application can use some back door to compromise you TV, and then
other home devices though the network
Always install updates, disable unwanted features, read T&C before
you make a purchase
Internet of Everything ( or Internet ofThings )You need Internet of Things but do you really need Internet of

One machine can do the work of �fty ordinary men.
No machine can do the work of one extraordinary
man.
