That 500-year-old house with thick stone walls is certainly beautiful, but good luck getting Wi-Fi signal to every charming corner that Nest smart home heating system sure is spiffy, but it doesn’t work with the storage heater in your 40-year-old flat. You don’t need to build a new house from the ground up to benefit from the internet of things (IoT) in your home, but older buildings can be more of a challenge than newer residences.
