  1.   Fiber Optic Cable: Key to A  Reliable Smart Home Routine        T​he Ethernet cable has been around for over 35 years. It is                         difficult to remember a time when you could use either your                       house phone or the internet via a dial-up connection. This                     changed when you could use both at the same time but still                         with an ​Ethernet cable​. The cable got better in terms of speed and reliability. Then we switched over to Wi-Fi and modified                                             Maslow’s pyramid to put Wi-Fi as a basic need. While wireless                       connectivity is great, the internet is faster when data passes                     through a cable. With every iteration of the Ethernet cable, the                       aim is to improve upon the speed and reliability.    1​​

  2. Devices we use nowadays run on the internet. Our use of the                         internet is so much that we have refrigerators with screens                     and smart ovens that have cameras to see how much your                       food has cooked.    As our dependency on the internet increases, so does our                     need for speed and reliability. This is where the new type of                         cable comes in: fiber optic cable.        Fiber optic cable has a strand of pure glass that can transmit                         light. It can cover great distances because the coating around                     the glass strand does not absorb any. Light reflects internally                     in a phenomenon called “total internal reflection”.    2​

  3. Since light travels faster than electric current, a ​fiber optic cable can transmit data faster than copper cables. It transmits                                         data at speeds of 1000 Mbps, or one Gbps, therefore, called                       gigabit internet. It makes promises (and comes through) of                   never having to wait for videos to buffer, never having your                       video call freeze awkwardly and getting an edge over your                     fellow gamers.    Gigabit internet is truly for the future. And the future is the                         Internet of Things. IoT devices popularly work on the IFTTT (If                       This Then That) protocol. One action triggers the next. This is                       how our routine tasks happen. This concept of routines                   translates to technology. A connected home routine is for your                     digital assistant to execute, or rather help execute. Your digital                     assistant is a central hub for all your smart devices. Let us look                           at some examples of how these routines work:    Morning Routine:    A standard morning routine triggers when you turn off your                     alarm. Then a pre-selected playlist plays, while your smart                   plug connected coffee maker turns itself on. After that, your                     3​

  4. digital assistant reads out the top news (based on your                     interests)   to   you.   Lastly,   it   will   tell   you   about   your   appointments and events for the day, the weather and                   commute time to work and sends the directions to your phone                       for navigation.    Safety Routine/Leave The Home Routine:    When you are ready to leave for work, you can trigger the                         leaving home routine with simple phrases like “leaving now”,                   or “I am leaving”, to your digital assistant. The smart home hub                         device then takes necessary, predefined steps to secure your                   house. Once you step out of the door, your smart door lock                         locks itself; your appliances like the coffee maker, air                   conditioner, toaster, and TV turn off. At last, your smart                     shades shut and your security camera monitors everything.    The advantage of this is that if you forget to turn any device                           off, you won’t have to rush back home. It will automatically                       turn off or you can turn it off remotely if connected to a smart                             plug. The important thing is that your home hub device should                       connect to everything in your house.  4​

  5.       Come Back/Evening Routine:    On your way back home, you can trigger actions with phrases                       like, “I am home” or “I am back”. This can happen after you                           unlock your main door with a secure pin or key. After the                         trigger phrase, actions can start unfolding, with the shades                   opening. Then your evening playlist can start playing while                   you start cooking dinner and then the lights come on as the                         sunsets.  ● Evenings are times when we indulge in recreational  activities. So, you can easily build game night, movie night  or party routines as well, which can set the right music,  and lighting, if not more.    5​

  6.       Night Routine:    At the end of the day, your night routine can trigger based on                           a phrase or set by a specific time. Your door will lock, the                           music will stop, and your thermostat will adjust to your ideal                       sleep temperature.    As the flow of these routines suggests, all the devices require                       constant and speedy internet connection, which a fiber optic                   cable promises to deliver. And with increasing devices, if you                     want to maintain speed, you need your house connection to                     switch to the fiber optic Ethernet cable.    6​
