The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interconnected physical devices equipped with sensors, software, and network connectivity, enabling them to gather and share data over the internet without the need for human involvement.
How IoT Operates:
- Sensors detect and capture data such as motion, temperature, or humidity
- Microcontrollers process this information and send it forward
- Cloud or internet platforms store, manage, and analyze the data
- Applications use the analyzed data to deliver insights or trigger automated actions
