Automation is one of the main global phenomena,which applies to all sectors of the economy, and, of course, housing and communal services,as one of the basic spheres of human life, does not stand aside. The amount of oil and gas in the world is constantly decreasing, which inevitably leads to their appreciation, and therefore to the need for strict accounting. Payment for energy is one of the most important budget items,both the state and consumers. therefore, the technology of "smart" housing and communal services is more relevant today than ever. They can significantly save energy costs,due to their wise use, redistribution and reduction of losses.

And the more these numbers grow, the more difficult it becomes to control the processes taking place in cities. "Smart" cities provide for the integrated use of IoT -solutions in the field of housing and communal services, transport infrastructure, to ensure the safety of residents of cities and other areas.
