The IoT device is a piece of hardware and software with a sensor. It transmits data from one place to another with the help of the Internet. what is Iot devices?
Kevin Ashton, the co-founder of the Auto-ID Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), first mentioned the internet of things in a presentation he made to Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 1999. Ashton called his presentation “Internet of Things” to incorporate the cool new trend of 1999: the internet. MIT professor Neil Gershenfeld’s book, When Things Start to Think, also appeared in 1999. It didn’t use the exact term but provided a clear vision of where IoT was headed. The first internet appliance, for example, was a Coke machine at Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1980s.
These devices, often called “connected” or “smart” devices, can sometimes talk to other related devices, a process called machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and act on the information they get from one another. We use IoT devices to save time. IoT devices are equipped with sensors that transfer information by sensing data. Like we talk about Doorbot. Doorbot is an
IoT devices with the help of which we can increase our home security many times. The doorbot connects with our phone, then you can lock or unlock the door from anywhere. If there is a danger on the door of the doorbot, then it shoots an automatic photo and sends it to your phone.
IoT devices require the internet to work. This is how the IoT device works. With the help of the picture given below, you will be easy to understand.
Some disadvantages of IoT
- As the number of connected devices increases and more information is shared between devices, the potential that a hacker could steal confidential information also increases
- Enterprises may eventually have to deal with massive numbers — maybe even millions — of IoT devices, and collecting and managing the data from all those devices will be challenging.
- If there’s a bug in the system, it’s likely that every connected device will become corrupted.
- Since there’s no international standard of compatibility for IoT, it’s difficult for devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other.
