IoT devices, or Internet of Things devices , are physical objects that are equipped with sensors, software, and connectivity capabilities to enable communication and data exchange over the Internet or other networks. These devices form a critical component of the broader IoT ecosystem, where they interact with other devices, systems, and platforms to enable advanced applications and services. Key Characteristics of IoT Devices: 1. Sensors and Actuators: IoT devices are equipped with various sensors, such as temperature sensors, motion sensors, proximity sensors, light sensors, and more. These sensors allow the devices to gather data from their surroundings. Actuators, on the other hand, enable IoT devices to take physical actions based on the received data, such as controlling a motor or switching on/off a device. 2. Connectivity: IoT devices are designed to connect to the internet or local networks, allowing them to communicate and exchange data with other dev...
