An IT technician is tasked with setting up a smart thermostat for a small business. The business owner wants to adjust the temperature remotely through their smartphone. Which technology will the thermostat primarily utilize to allow this remote interaction?
Smart thermostats typically connect to the internet through a Wi-Fi connection, enabling remote access and control through a smartphone app. Bluetooth is generally used for close-range connections, not for remote access. NFC is more commonly used for contactless payments, and IR is used for remote controls that require a direct line of sight and are not internet-enabled.
