Now in 1990-1993 – World’s first IoT device was invented. In 1990, John Romkey created the first IoT device a toaster that could be turned on and off over the Internet. By 1991, he had automated the entire process by adding a crane system that inserted the bread as well.
What are different IoT devices?
In this 21st century, IoT devices are hardware devices, such as sensors, gadgets, appliances and other machines that collect and exchange data over the Internet.
These devices are made to suit the needs and preferences of the users and they can be used easily on Smart Mobiles, smart refrigerators, smartwatches, smart fire alarms, smart door locks, smart bicycles, medical sensors, fitness trackers, smart security systems, etc with this IoT can be used anywhere, everywhere.
It later gains attention and popularity in the summer of 2010. Information leaked that Google’s StreetView service had not only made 360-degree pictures but had also stored tons of data from people’s Wifi networks.
With the IoT we have 5 types of devices that allows one to have easy access which is Consumer IoT – Primarily for everyday use. Eg: home appliances, voice assistance, and light fixtures. Commercial IoT – Primarily used in the healthcare and transport industries. Eg: smart pacemakers and monitoring systems.
Military Things (IoMT) – Primarily used for the application of IoT technologies in the military field. Eg: surveillance robots and human-wearable biometrics for combat.Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – Primarily used with industrial applications, such as in the manufacturing and energy sectors. Eg: Digital control systems, smart agriculture and industrial big data.
Infrastructure IoT – Primarily used for connectivity in smart cities. Eg: infrastructure sensors and management systems.
I entreat us all to learn more and use this software and I know it will be of great help for us helping us to turn our homes into a workplace and enable us to work effectively and efficiently.
