IoT Physical Devices

IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to a network of physical devices that are connected to the internet, allowing for communication and data exchange. These devices can range from simple sensors to complex machines and are embedded with technology such as:

• Sensors: Collect environmental data like temperature, humidity, or motion.

• Actuators: Physical mechanisms that initiate movement or control a system.

• Embedded Systems: Miniaturized computers that provide intelligence and control.

• Connectivity Modules: Enable devices to connect to the internet or other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, etc.

IoT devices are used in various sectors including smart homes (e.g., smart thermostats and lighting), healthcare (wearable health monitors), agriculture (soil moisture sensors), and industrial automation (machinery monitoring).

Their ability to gather and share data enhances efficiency, enables real-time decision-making, and fosters innovative services and applications.
