So, I’m curious on how IoT \[internet of things?\] applicance works.
You just hook up stuff to internet and controlling it through phone and voice that somehow translated to the command to turn things on/off?

Basically, the idea is lots of small computers in your things, all of which are connected via wireless or bluetooth to a control device like your smartphone, and able to process commands form that controller. So, the IoT device has a local controller that can execute the commands.
For example, a IoT kettle that you fill before you go to work, then as you get close to home you tell it to boil the water so you can make a brew as soon as you walk in the door.
Or exterior lights/cameras for the house, which you can remotely activate and or monitor, like what Ring offer.
Its basically taking advantage of internet connectivity to allow remote control…….at least in theory. a lot of the IoT products in practive have been a bit “gimmicky” as people shoved it into everything at let someone else work out a use case.
