IoT systems consist of various hardware components that handle key functions like system activation, security, communication, and data detection.
1. IoT Sensors
Sensors are a crucial part of IoT and include:
- Energy Modules – Provide power to sensors
- Power Management Modules – Regulate power usage
- RF Modules – Enable communication (WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.)
- Sensing Modules – Measure various environmental factors
Common IoT Sensors:
| S.No | Sensors |
|---|---|
| 1 | Accelerometers, Temperature Sensors |
| 2 | Magnetometers, Proximity Sensors |
| 3 | Gyroscopes, Image Sensors |
| 4 | Acoustic Sensors, Light Sensors |
| 5 | Pressure Sensors, Gas RFID Sensors |
| 6 | Humidity Sensors, Micro Flow Sensors |
2. Wearable Electronics
Wearable devices are small gadgets worn on different body parts. Examples:
- Head – Helmets, Smart Glasses
- Neck – Smart Jewelry, Collars
- Arms – Smartwatches, Wristbands, Rings
- Torso – Smart Clothing, Backpacks
- Feet – Smart Socks, Shoes
3. Standard IoT Devices
Traditional computing devices remain essential for IoT control:
- Desktops – Provide full control over IoT systems
- Tablets – Offer key functions and remote access
- Cellphones – Enable basic controls and remote management
These devices form the core of IoT operations, improving connectivity, productivity, and automation.
