Evaluate the potential of the Internet of Things within your own dwelling.

If you already have IoT

systems (eg Smart TVs, Smart phones, etc), include these in your discussion.

1. You are limited to a maximum of 2000 words (not including diagrams, tables and references),
so you need to produce a report that has a well defined layout with clear and concise
language. You must use headings to divide your document into appropriate sections to
improve readability. (10 marks for layout and readability)
2. Identify and discuss current devices that could be used in your dwelling (start with systems
you would genuinely want, followed by systems that you could include if you need to reach
the 8 to 12 device groups). You should limit the number of IoT device groups to between 8
and 12 (eg a number of IoT light controllers would count as one device group etc). (10 marks
for IoT device descriptions)
3. Evaluate issues such as usage, control, connectivity, security, privacy. Provide potential
solutions for these issues. (20 marks for issues and solutions)
4. Include a diagram of the dwelling layout (this can be a simple sketch, do NOT spend a
significant amount of time producing a perfect scale diagram of your residence. Feel free to
improvise eg only use one floor of a multistory home, or add fictitious rooms if you live in a
one room apartment - use something that helps you highlight the systems you will be
evaluating). (5 marks)
5. Include an appendix containing a Table of the IoT devices, providing a short description of
function, manufacturer and cost. (5 marks)
Rationale

This assessment covers the following learning objective:

be able to evaluate a variety of existing and developing architecture technologies for IoT;
be able to describe and evaluate different applications of the IoT.

Marking criteria

The assessment will be marked using the following criteria:
