How IOT works?
The entire IOT process starts with the devices themselves like smartphones, smartwatches, electronic appliances like TV, Washing Machine which helps you to communicate with the IOT platform.
Here, are four fundamental components of an IoT system:
1) Sensors/Devices: Sensors or devices are a key component that helps you to collect live data from the surrounding environment.
2) Connectivity: All the collected data is sent to a cloud infrastructure.
3) Data Processing: Once that data is collected, and it gets to the cloud, the software performs processing on the gathered data.
4) User Interface: The information needs to be available to the end-user in some way which can be achieved by triggering alarms on their IOT system. For example, the user has a camera installed in his home. He wants to access video recording and all the feeds with the help of a web server.
