IoT has enabled a wide range of Internet applications to be used especially in industry and academic field by offering people unprecedented levels of convenience, comfort and enjoyment.However,there is still a lack of attention on the suitable usage of the technology for smart living.In addition,awareness among users and society on how important the IoT usage is still worrying. To this extent,this study aims to identify the factors that influence the sustainability of IoT usage among society for smart living.This study adopted a quantitative research.150 questionnaires were distributed to community in Cyberjaya and only 126 responded to the survey.The data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 using Pearson and multiple regression analysis.It showed that there are significant positive relationship between the performance effort,effort expectancy,social influences and facilitating conditions with the sustainable of IoT usage in Cyberjaya.The combination of all the three factors contributes 54.5% variance in the criterion variables (sustainable usage of IoT).However,effort expectancy is excluded from the regression due to the low value of beta in in the excluded variables tables.Thus, the importance of supporting IoT usage through infrastructure,individual and others perception towards IoT will influence the sustainable use of IoT.The findings of the research serve as guidelines for responsible management authority and provider to improve the products and services in order to sustain the IoT usage among society.
