IoT (Internet of Things) Tutorial

IoT tutorial provides basic and advanced concepts of IoT.
Our Internet of Things tutorial is designed for beginners and
professionals.

IoT stands for Internet of Things, which means accessing

and controlling daily usable equipments and devices using
Internet.

Our IoT tutorial includes all topics of IoT such as

introduction, features, advantage and disadvantage, ecosystem, decision framework,
architecture and domains, biometric, security camera and door unlock system, devices,
etc.

What is an Internet of Things (IoT)

Let's us look closely at our mobile device which contains GPS Tracking, Mobile
Gyroscope, Adaptive brightness, Voice detection, Face detection etc. These components
have their own individual features, but what about if these all communicate with each
other to provide a better environment? For example, the phone brightness is adjusted
based on my GPS location or my direction.

Connecting everyday things embedded with electronics, software, and sensors to

internet enabling to collect and exchange data without human interaction called as the
Internet of Things (IoT).

The term "Things" in the Internet of Things refers to anything and everything in day to
day life which is accessed or connected through the internet.

IoT is an advanced automation and analytics system which deals with artificial
intelligence, sensor, networking, electronic, cloud messaging etc. to deliver complete
systems for the product or services. The system created by IoT has greater transparency,
control, and performance.

As we have a platform such as a cloud that contains all the data through which we
connect all the things around us. For example, a house, where we can connect our home
appliances such as air conditioner, light, etc. through each other and all these things are
managed at the same platform. Since we have a platform, we can connect our car, track
its fuel meter, speed level, and also track the location of the car.

If there is a common platform where all these things can connect to each other would
be great because based on my preference, I can set the room temperature. For example,
if I love the room temperature to to be set at 25 or 26-degree Celsius when I reach back
home from my office, then according to my car location, my AC would start before 10
minutes I arrive at home. This can be done through the Internet of Things (IoT).

How does Internet of Thing (IoT) Work?

The working of IoT is different for different IoT echo system (architecture). However, the
key concept of there working are similar. The entire working process of IoT starts with
the device themselves, such as smartphones, digital watches, electronic appliances,
which securely communicate with the IoT platform. The platforms collect and analyze
the data from all multiple devices and platforms and transfer the most valuable data
with applications to devices.

Features of IOT
The most important features of IoT on which it works are connectivity, analyzing,
integrating, active engagement, and many more. Some of them are listed below:

Connectivity: Connectivity refers to establish a proper connection between all the things
of IoT to IoT platform it may be server or cloud. After connecting the IoT devices, it needs
a high speed messaging between the devices and cloud to enable reliable, secure and
bi-directional communication.

Analyzing: After connecting all the relevant things, it comes to real-time analyzing the
data collected and use them to build effective business intelligence. If we have a good
insight into data gathered from all these things, then we call our system has a smart
system.

Integrating: IoT integrating the various models to improve the user experience as well.

Artificial Intelligence: IoT makes things smart and enhances life through the use of
data. For example, if we have a coffee machine whose beans have going to end, then the
coffee machine itself order the coffee beans of your choice from the retailer.

Sensing: The sensor devices used in IoT technologies detect and measure any change in
the environment and report on their status. IoT technology brings passive networks to
active networks. Without sensors, there could not hold an effective or true IoT
environment.

Active Engagement: IoT makes the connected technology, product, or services to active
engagement between each other.

Endpoint Management: It is important to be the endpoint management of all the IoT

system otherwise, it makes the complete failure of the system. For example, if a coffee
machine itself order the coffee beans when it goes to end but what happens when it
orders the beans from a retailer and we are not present at home for a few days, it leads
to the failure of the IoT system. So, there must be a need for endpoint management.
