The Internet of things (IoT) describes the
network of physical objects—“things”—that are
embedded with sensors, software, and other
technologies for the purpose of connecting and
exchanging data with other devices and systems
over the Internet.
A sensor is a device, module, machine, or
subsystem whose purpose is to detect
events or changes in its environment and
send the information to other electronics,
frequently a computer processor. A sensor
is always used with other electronics.
