Internet of Things(IoT) Devices
When it comes to IoT devices there are so many of them depending on the areas in which it is used.. You can have devices that support applications in Agriculture, Health, Energy, Homes, Retails, Cars and Automotive, Environments, Manufacturing(Industrial IoT), Towns and Smart Cities and Personal Wearables.I am going to group these IoT devices according to their industrial applications. If you have projects or are looking for devices to buy please do not hesitate to send me an email. IoT devices are hardware devices that connect to the internet to collect and exchange data or processed data,that is the basic use of an IoT device. Here are the lists of some common types of IoT hardware devices: Remember each device has interfaces and protocols it can support.
