I. Introduction
IoT stands for the "Internet of Things". It refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles,
home appliances, and other "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors,
actuators, and connectivity which enables these objects to collect and exchange data.
Connectivity - IoT devices are connected to the internet and can communicate with each
other and with central control/monitoring systems.
Sensing - IoT devices are equipped with sensors that can collect data about their
environment, usage, performance, etc.
Data processing - The data collected by IoT devices can be processed locally or sent to the
cloud for analysis and decision-making.
Automation - IoT enables automation of various tasks and processes by allowing devices to
take actions based on the data they collect and the analytics performed.
Smart homes - Controlling lights, temperature, security systems, appliances, etc.
Industrial automation - Monitoring and optimizing manufacturing processes.
Connected cars - Tracking vehicle data, enabling remote diagnostics, etc.
II. Main body
1. P1 Explore various forms of IoT functionality.
Iot has many components and this is one component and contains the database:
 Sensor: Sensors play a crucial role in IoT (Internet of Things) by providing the ability to
collect data from the physical world. They act as the eyes and ears of IoT devices,
enabling them to perceive and understand the environment they are deployed in.
For example: Automotive sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, movement
sensors,…
 Control (Actuation): Actuation refers to the capability of IoT devices to take action or
control physical objects or systems based on the data they receive. Here are some
examples of actuation in IoT:
 Activate/deactivate devices: Control lights, TVs, toy cars or other devices
remotely.

  Adjust: Change the speed of the toy car to turn left or right, switch channels for
example from vtv3 to vtv6, or other parameters.
 Connectivity: IoT devices need to connect to each other and to other systems to
transmit data and receive commands. For example: (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular
Networks,...)
 Data Processing and Analysis: Data processing and analysis are critical components of
IoT (Internet of Things) systems. IoT devices generate a massive amount of data, and
processing and analyzing this data is essential to extract meaningful insights, enable
intelligent decision-making, and drive value. Data collected from sensor variables
often need to be processed and analyzed to extract useful information (Run local or
cloud...)
 User Interface: functions need to be simplified so that users can easily operate them.
Mobile applications or web interfaces allow users to interact with the system more
easily.
 For example: Applications to monitor, control, warn users, receive
notifications...
 Together, these components - sensors, actuation, connectivity, data processing, and user
interface - enable the diverse functions and capabilities of IoT systems. Complaints offer optimal
solutions. This allows for a simpler and more intuitive user experience. The main components
that make up the functionality of IoT are sensing, control/enabling, connectivity, data processing
and analysis, and user interface. These components work together to create a variety of IoT
applications and solutions.
