ABSTRACT
A common misconception of the Internet of Things (IoT) is that it is primarily comprised of smart devices or “things.” The reality is that there is a great deal more than just a thing for an IoT-enabled solution to be successful. The process of creating these solutions includes the creation of the device or application, communications, data storage, and analytics. The devices in the IoT are comprised of three major components: sensing, computing, and communications. The sensors attached to intelligent devices interact with the physical environment, other IoT devices, and applications through a digital communication mechanism. A transducer is a device that responds to the change in physical environment which is then converted to an analog or digital electronic signal and vice versa. These analog or digital electronic signals are recorded by IoT devices and transferred to the application processing or application which can send these signals to the transducer.
