A successful IoT system comprises of device(s), usually known as sensors, a gateway and a controller.

Sensors are responsible for collecting data from the environment, such as temperature, humidity, capacity, light, pressure etc. The data they collect is then transmitted to the cloud via a gateway, where it is processed and analysed, before being presented to the end user in a human friendly format via a user interface including apps and notifications.

A controller allows the user to set up commands and if/then instructions in order to control devices based on the data collected.
