??In the last decades, the internet of things (IoT) evolution started to spread across every kind of object, with the creation of new connected environments and devices. The innovation hence streamed also over the house and its components, transforming it and evolving its devices and appliances, sometimes changing the way people communicate with its parts. The entrance in the market by tech giants such as Google and Amazon, providing newer and simpler solutions to unify the control of all the devices will – and already is – boost significantly the adoption of this technology by the users. The aim of this work is to investigate how this technology works, how it changes the relationship between the users and their house, assessing if it is possible to experience energetical improvements due to the innovation.
