🔍 What is IoT (Internet of Things)?

IoT stands for Internet of Things — a system where physical devices (“things”) are connected to the internet and can collect, send, and receive data.

These “smart” devices use sensors, software, and connectivity to:

• Monitor environments (like temperature or air quality)
• Automate tasks (like turning on lights or sending alerts)
• Communicate with other devices or systems

🧠 Real-World Examples of IoT:

• Smart thermostats (e.g., Nest)
• Wearables like fitness trackers
• Smart refrigerators
• Industrial machines monitoring energy usage
• Smart agriculture (soil sensors, automated irrigation)

🌐 IoT is the foundation of smart cities, Industry 4.0, and next-gen healthcare.

⚙️ How IoT Works: A Simple Breakdown

IoT systems typically include:

1. Sensors/Devices – Collect real-world data (temperature, motion, light)
2. Connectivity – Devices transmit data via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.
3. Data Processing – Cloud or edge systems analyze data in real-time
4. User Interface – Users access insights via apps, dashboards, or alerts

🔄 IoT = Devices + Data + Communication + Intelligence
