1. A method for controlling operation of an internet of things (IoT) device, comprising:

  • controlling, by a processor, a sub-device to be in an on state and controlling the processor to be in a sleep mode when the processor determines that a user is located outside a place object;

    receiving, by the processor, a control signal from the sub-device and waking up the processor to be in an operation mode in response to the control signal received from the sub-device;

    controlling, by the processor, an entrance detection device to be in an on state, wherein the entrance detection device is located in an entrance side of the place object and detects a user'"'"'s entry into the place object;

    when the user'"'"'s entry into the place object is detected by the entrance detection device, controlling, by the processor, the processor to be connected to an external control device, controlling the sub-device and the entrance detection device to be in an off state, and controlling an active state sensing device to be in an on state, wherein the active state sensing device is located inside the place object and detects the user located inside the place object; and

    determining, by the processor, whether the user is located inside the place object using an output of the active state sensing device,wherein the processor turns on the sub-device, turns off the entrance detection device and the active state sensing device, and goes into the sleep mode when the processor determines that the user is located outside the place object.
