Abstract :
The “Internet of Things” is the paradigm of connecting physical objects (things) with digital intelligence to the Internet. People have been connecting to the Internet for decades. It is only recently that things have been able to connect to the Internet. There are many examples of things posting their status on Twitter and allowing uni-directional access. TurnMeOn is an example of allowing bi-directional access between people and things using Internet protocols. Users can query the status of a light bulb. In addition, users can turn a light bulb on and off.
