IOT (Internet of Things.

)
Definition:-
The IoT is the network of physical objects with unique
identifiers that are connected with each other and are
embedded with electronics, software and sensors which
enables these object to collect and exchange data.
OR
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected
physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and
technologies that enable them to collect, share, and act on data
over the internet. These devices work together to provide
automated solutions, improve efficiency, and enhance user
experiences
Example:
A smart home system is a popular IoT example. Devices like
smart lights, thermostats, and security cameras connect to the
network and can be controlled remotely through a mobile app
or voice assistant (e.g., Alexa or Google Assistant). They can
also automate tasks, such as turning off lights when no one is in
the room
Working

Applications of IoT
1. Smart Homes
o IoT enables devices in the home to communicate with each other for automation and
convenience.
o Example: Smart thermostats like Nest adjust room temperature based on your
schedule, while smart lighting systems can be controlled remotely.
2. Healthcare
o IoT is used to monitor patient health in real-time, allowing for better care and faster
response.
o Example: Wearable devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches track vital signs like
heart rate and activity, sending data to healthcare providers.
3. Smart Cities
o IoT helps manage urban infrastructure, such as traffic, waste, and energy, to make cities
more efficient.
o Example: Smart traffic systems adjust traffic lights based on real-time traffic data to
reduce congestion.
4. Industrial IoT (IIoT)
o IoT is applied in industries for machine monitoring, predictive maintenance, and
inventory management.
o Example: IoT sensors monitor the performance of machines in factories and send alerts
for maintenance before a failure occurs
5. Agriculture
o IoT is used to monitor crops, soil conditions, and livestock to improve farming practices.
o Example: Smart irrigation systems use soil moisture sensors to water crops only when
needed, saving water and improving crop yield.
