![]() Gartner Inc. forecasts a 30% increase in connected things this upcoming year, such that in 2016 there will be 6.4 billion connected things in use worldwide. In 2016, 5.5 million new things will get connected every day. This number is predicted to continually rise and reach 20.8 billion by 2020. The IoT movement allows individuals to make every "thing" smart and exist on the network without additional wires. Home Automation is becoming more and more popular as people have increased standards on their quality of life. We envision future home environments equipped with self-configured sensors and actuators that can be controlled remotely through the Internet, which in turn enables a variety of monitoring and control applications. IoT is essential to the integration of Home Automation. HKC currently owns several IoT-related intelligent solutions, such as Home Automation solution and i-Healthcare solution. Home automation solution embraces a new digital lifestyle which brings us 4Cs (Comfort, Care, Convenience and Connectivity), while i-Healthcare is a caring solution that supports the elderly in an environment of their choice in lieu of institutionalization or nursing home placement. Home Automation in healthcare empowers the elderly to take ownership of their living environment and live independently to reduce caregiver's stress. In December 2015, HKC achieved a milestone in creating a one-stop worry-free living solution specifically tailored for seniors. This solution provides a relaxed ambience, easy access to professional healthcare, and skilled care services for the elderly.
