Internet of Things (IoT) is a topic that involves automating or controlling (not only) households from intelligent devices. Under the term IoT, it is possible to imagine everything around us that communicates in some way, and it is possible to acquire information, manage and know about these devices, such as whether they are turned off or turned on. This is your television, your computer, washing machine, mp3 player, appliances, sockets, lights. Their data must be sent to the network by hardware if they do not have a certain connectivity or if they do not support the IoT standard. As a hardware we can use a chip or a minicomputer that performs this function. Consequently, these devices can be managed with the hardware that they can communicate with the device and then send these device values / statuses to the IoT network gateway. In this article you can read about the most famous IoT hardware platforms, but most of the hardware is only used for local projects without having to conne
