The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative paradigm that makes the earth in a modern wireless telecommunications setting fast. The basic impression of this concept is the expansion of the Internet into the real world by taking in everyday objects
Therefore, the researchers tried to make a tool as well as mobile-based software to control household electronic equipment used daily at home with smart electrical terminals or named TICO (Electronic Control).
