The internet of things (IoT) is a broad term referring to any system of interconnected computing devices. These could include traditional devices like computers, tablets, and mobile devices, but also smaller devices like sensors, control systems, and automated machines.

IoT is the technology behind the concept of a “smart home,” which allows homeowners to control a variety of different appliances and devices using a centralized dashboard or digital control center. Businesses often use IoT to create a system of comprehensive tracking, diagnostics, or even automation.

There’s almost no limit to the applications of a sufficiently sophisticated IoT system; with the right devices, synchronized and controlled in the right way, you can gather data, streamline operations, and transmit information however you see fit.

To fully harness the benefits of a customized IoT system, you’ll need the help of an experienced IoT developer.
