How iot works

Also, IoT devices help collect data and receive statistics. Fitness bracelet determines the speed of the user, the frequency of the pulse, the number of steps passed. More sophisticated models can calculate how many calories you spent and how many hours you slept. You can see statistics in the application - it is much easier to monitor your progress, for example, if you want to lose weight.

Typically, the IOT system consists of devices with sensors and a cloud platform to which they are connected via WiFi, Bluetooth, Lan. Devices collect data and send them to the cloud, and the application processes them. Applications of the Internet of things allow you to visualize data, monitor the indicators and control connected devices.

What is IoT?

In simple words, the Internet of things (IoT) is a network in which people can communicate with things, and things with each other. Previously, only computers and smartphones could connect to the Internet, now even your refrigerator can connect to WiFi and exchange data with electronic scales.

Devices work without human participation, but with the help of applications, people can configure them and manage them. Let us explain the example of a robot permit: a person can set the cleaning time-the vacuum cleaner will clean himself, and then return to the charging station.
