🎄 Holiday Innovation Challenge: Invent the Next Big IoT Gift! 🎁

Super idea @TylerM !

I’ll be back once I’ve had my morning coffee and my brain’s in gear!

Wouldn’t mind a Christmas robot that will do the research, buy, wrap and organise the presents, deal with any online shopping and shipping issues and brings it all in under budget and on time. And can go out physically to do it all if necessary.

That was Tuesday. What did you do, get lost or are you still drinking your coffee? ROFL

Maybe there was more than just Coffee? LOL

A small robot to cheer me up every now and then during work and may be make me some coffee without asking 😅 

Sorry, actually work got in the way! It’s Christmas week but people want their IT fixed!

I wish! 😃

Based on recent events with my daughter, I’d like a smart toilet roll holder. It can sense when the toilet roll is getting low and alert the ‘user’ to replace it. It will also monitor stock levels and add more toilet rolls to the shopping list.

I’m fed up with finding an empty toilet roll in the bathroom.

Would be great if IoT could replace the ‘Toilet roll fairy” AKA me!

I’d like a drone capable of hanging christmas lights, climbing a ladder in the cold wet dark is a good way to injure yourself, so i can only decorate the bottom half of my house with a step ladder

How about an Automated IoT Wardrobe:
A wardrobe that can suggest outfits based on the weather, your schedule, and recent fashion trends. It could also keep track of when you last wore an outfit or suggest when to wash a piece of clothing.

Or how about an update to what we currently have in a limited form:
IoT-Enabled Smart Mirrors: A mirror that not only shows your reflection but also displays your health stats, weather updates, news headlines, and personalised daily schedule. It could also provide health alerts based on the user’s appearance (like skin health). Linking into your Apple watch or health band, means you see everything as you stand there dreading the start of another work day!

Like it. Certainly useful for my wife and daughter. Would save a lot of time in the mornings!

Smart glasses that track your movements and provide you with daily reminders for upcoming meetings, doctor appointments, etc. They would have a built-in smart bot that learns your behavior and gives you suggestions for things you struggle with on a regular basis by giving you smart suggestions to answer the question “what’s for dinner?” or suggest a show to watch based on your likes and past history. The glasses would need to be activated by face recognition on your smart phone to keep them secure, and would need to be reactivated any time they were removed to maintain a level of security. 

A Smart Personal Productivity Cube. Which would include adjustable LED lights that change color temperature throughout the day to mimic natural sunlight which helps and promotes focus during work hours while transitioning to warmer tones for relaxation during breaks. 

An ai in daily life to help me get starting to learn new things. IT things of course. 

A fall alert app for your smart watch - to alert your loved ones / assisted living monitor if you fall over (for the older generation)

And it has to be able to handle the paper roll facing outward or inward...

Firstly, consumer IoT needs to be retrofits that work on top of existing manual systems. More easily replaced, upgraded, or removed depending on the occupants need at the time.

That said, I want a device that can go on to my water main line valve into the house, and allow me to turn it on or off remotely or based on a water leak alarm sounding. When traveling a water leak is one of my greater fears. Unless it is an extended trip the water typically stays on for some activities in the house, but it always worries me.

Well the thought of being hacked by a light bulb and getting my bank emptied by my fridge puts me right off using or owning any IOT devices which gives me the idea of having a device which simply plugs in to a power supply, scans for any IOT devices automatically and updates them as and when needed, with of course the option to disable any which are unable to update.

Ohh don’t even go there!

And also for the younger generation that gets drunk and falls over.

A smart ring that can be used to unlock devices and login to accounts using biometrics from the wearer, can also integrate with HomeAssistant and smart homes.

Can we invent a wardrobe that grows and shrinks as needed?

This would be super helpful with kids if their clothes and shoes could just keep growing with them.

Also with adults, as we put on those holiday pounds and take them off with New Year’s resolutions. My pants are a little tight right now. lol
