While I am no expert, Internet of Things is a machine to machine computational technology, which makes different computer based systems "talk".
In an ideal scenario, it could be like:
An alert telling a smartphone to decrease A/C cooling.
Or, a refrigerator conveying message to increase the degree of cooling.
Or a TV alerting remote or a phone to switch it off after 4 hours.
There are already some such smarthome systems in the world, but not much in India.
