IoT or the whole name, the Internet of Things, is the connection to the network of different types of objects, so that they can communicate with each other to facilitate their use to people.

The importance of the internet of things lies in its potential to improve the quality of life, not only in daily tasks, but also in work, since it allows to create new relationships (person-object-object) simply through a connection to Internet.

In these moments thousands of devices are connected to the network so that their users can handle them as they need when they need it.

But what kind of things can be connected to the network? It is not necessary to be “intelligent” objects, it is enough that they can be turned on or off as a switch (for example, house lights).

And not only everyday objects at home can connect and communicate with us and objects, wearables are considered part of those interconnected elements, and in turn, any object so if we expand the connections we create smart cities, but we will see a future post…
