Getting Started with Internet of Things

The Internet Of Things is the most trending technology today that stands alongside wearables and robotics. It is a very simple concept where devices in our home or wherever they are , have the capability to communicate with each other via the internet.Usually sensors are used with this technology to pass data to the internet. You can imagine  a sensor installed in your garden which uploads data like temperature, humidity, soil purity ,etc to the internet, and this data will be visible to you from anywhere around the world.Or imagine home automation systems connected to the net , which can be used to control appliances in your home like lights, door locks, air conditioning, etc through a web interface or smartphone application. A lot of technologies are being developed around this concept such as independent light-weight  IoT networks, protocols for passing data,etc.
