Iot Levels

IoT systems can be categorized into 6 levels based on their complexity and architecture. Level 1 involves a single device performing sensing, storage, analysis and hosting applications. Level 2 uses local analysis and cloud storage. Level 3 has cloud-based applications, storage and intensive analysis. Level 4 uses multiple nodes collecting and storing data in the cloud. Level 5 differentiates between end nodes and coordinator nodes, with coordinators sending data to the cloud. Level 6 fully utilizes the cloud for storage, analysis and applications, with a centralized controller monitoring end nodes.

1. Device: These may be sensors or actuators capable of identifying,


remote sensing, or monitoring. 
2. Resources: These are software components on IoT devices for accessing
and processing. storing software components or controlling actuators
connected to the device. Resources also include software components
that enable network access. 
3. Controller Service: It is a service that runs on the device and interacts
with web services. The controller service sends data from the device to
the web service and receives commands from the application via web
services for controlling the device. 
4. Database: Stores data generated from the device 
5. Web Service: It provides a link between IoT devices, applications,
databases, and analysis components.
6. Analysis Component: It performs an analysis of the data generated by
the lol device and generates results in a form which are easy for the
user to understand. 
7. Application: It provides a system for the user to view the system
status and view product data. It also allows users to control and
monitor various aspects of the IoT system.
IoT Levels
IoT level 1 

IoT systems have a single device that performs sensing or actuation,


stores a. analyses it and hosts the application, IoT system-level-l is the best
example for modeling low complexity and low-cost solution where the
analysis requirement is hok comprehensive and data involved is not big. 

Example: We can understand with the help of an eg. let's look at the IoT
device that monitors the lights in a house. The lights are controlled through
switches. The database has maintained the status of each light and also REST
services deployed locally allow retrieving and updating the state of each light
and trigger the switches accordingly. For controlling the lights and
applications, the application has an interface. The device is connected to the
internet and hence the application can be accessed remotely as well.
IoT level 2
A node performs sensing/actuation and local analysis. Data is stored in the
cloud. this level is facilitated where the data involved is big and primary
analysis is not comprehensive 

Example: Cloud-based application is used for monitoring and controlling the


IoT system A single node monitors the soil moisture in the field Which is sent
to the database on the cloud using REST APIS. The controller service
continuously monitors moisture levels.
IoT level 3
At this level, the application is cloud-based. A single node monitors the
environment and stores data in the cloud. This is suitable where data is
comprehensive and analysis 1 computationally intensive. 

Example: A node is monitoring a package using devices like an accelerometer


and gyroscope. These devices track vibration levels. controller service sends
sensor data to the cloud in the rear time using WebSocket APL. Data is stored
in the cloud and visualized using a cloud-based application. The analysis
component triggers an alert if vibration levels cross a threshold.
IoT level 4
At this level, Multiple nodes collect information and store it in the cloud. Local
and rent server nodes are used to grant and receive information collected in
the cloud from various devices. Observer nodes can process information and
use it for applications but not perform control functions, This level is the best
solution where data involvement is big, requirement analysis is
comprehensive and multiple nodes are required, 

Example: Analysis is done on the cloud and the entire IoT system has
monitored the cloud using an application. Noise monitoring of an area
requires various nodes to function independently of each other. Each has its
own controller service. Data is stored in a cloud database. 
IoT level 5
In this level Nodes present locally are of two types end odes and coordinator
nodes End nodes collect data and perform sensing or actuation or both.
Coordinator nodes collect data from end nodes and send it to the cloud. Data is
stored and analyzed in the cloud. This level is best for WSN, where the data
involved is big and the requirement analysis is comprehensive. 

Example: A monitoring system has various components: end nodes collect


various data from the environment and send it to the coordinator node. The
coordinator node acts as a gateway and allows the data to be transferred to
cloud storage using REST API. The controller service on the coordinator node
sends data to the cloud.
IoT Level-6
At this level, the application is also cloud-based and data is stored in the cloud-
like of levels. Multiple independent end nodes perform sensing and actuation
and send d to the cloud. The analytics components analyze the data and store
the results in the cloud database. The results are visualized with a cloud-
based application. The centralized controller is aware of the status of all the
end nodes and sends control commands to the nodes. 

Example: Weather monitoring consists of sensors that monitor different


aspects of the system. The end nodes send data to cloud storage. Analysis of
components, applications, and storage areas in the cloud. The centralized
controller controls all nodes and provides inputs.
