The Internet of Things is about extending the power of the internet beyond computers and smartphones to a whole range of other things, processes, and environments.
How to make a "Thing" Smart?
We can make anything smart by putting components in the world around us which interact and sense the physical world and connecting those to the internet.
There are 4 components as Senses, Network, Identity & Control or Interface.
1.Sensors help integrate physical parameters into data (sensors for vision, sound, smell, composition & touch can be used). Once the data gets to the cloud, software processes it and then decide to act.
2.The network is Wi-Fi or cellular, whatever is being used for cloud interface. IoT interconnects a series of devices to a network that readily shares information, transmitting data that allows humans and machines to interact freely with each other.
3.Identity is given by using IP addressing protocols, like ipv4 or ipv6.
4.Control or Interface is generally a cloud UI or an app from where things can be controlled and monitored.
