One of the most prominent and effective application of the Internet of things in our daily life is its use in smart energy saving for buildings, and within this domain, the part that most exemplifies the interaction between man and object is the lighting control system.

The Internet of Things strives to save energy and convenience in operation through the interaction between object to object and object to man, and the best example of this is a lighting control system and smart meters.

The reason that a lighting control system is able to provide such convenience in operation to user is because of the significant built in support for such a structure through the peer to peer network among the objects themselves. Another way to describe this is the connection between the digital switches, the controller modules, with the bus network and other devices on the system.
