hey guys you know we live in pretty amazing times I mean the fact that you can have one device and then instantly and wirelessly communicate with another that's a world away that's pretty incredible so here's how it all works in order for device to connect to the Internet it needs a way for other devices to be able to find it to know where it is for example when you connect your router to the Internet for the first time it's given a unique IP or Internet Protocol address by your internet service provider this allows other devices to be able to find your router in an ocean of billions of other devices so once your router is connected you have a home network then when you connect other devices to that network they're also given their own IP addresses but there are local IP addresses that means they have to go through your router in order to access the Internet and vice versa so let's take smart locks for example smart locks use embedded Wi-Fi chips to connect to the internet through your router and during the initial setup process for your smart lock your smart phone is giving your smart locks local IP address so if you add a party and you can't remember if you've locked your doors or not and take out your smart phone you send a command to lock your doors and it eventually reaches your router and sends it to your smart lock directly locking or unlocking your doors now smart locks are really cool technology and could one day make our lives a lot easier however like any new technology there are some security concerns the reality is that there are hackers out there so proceed with caution knowing that there are some risk involved you
