P. 8
Ability to sense
Things in IoT need to have some kind of sensory capabilities to
detect events or changes and provide a corresponding output. In
addition to sensory capabilities, they could also provide actuation
capabilities (e.g., light bulbs or locks controlled over the Internet).
Ability to be controlled remotely
Another quality expected of 'things’ in IoT is the ability to control
them remotely over the internet. Ideally, physical proximity to the
device should not be a pre-requisite.
With the advancements in pervasive or ubiquitous computing and
thanks to Moore’s law, even tiny 'things’ with embedded logic,
unique identifiers and the ability to wirelessly transfer data over
the internet, can be part of the Internet-of-Things.
That’s it then!
You now know all about the internet of things!
