IoT Devices are geared to help businesses through wireless connectivity solutions. Integration of IoT and Cloud platforms are used in many wireless solutions to provide flexibility, remote monitoring, and much more. The heart of an IoT device are its sensors, a sensor provides the real-time data continuously and autonomously. IoT solutions can be developed quickly and connect devices. This is an affordable way to monitor devices and take control of IoT devices. IoT devices collect different kinds of data from different kinds of sensors.
A few are mentioned below:
Biosensors: Transfer the biological information about an individual, this technology is used for heart, brain, muscle monitoring and optical-based heart rate monitoring.
Baby Monitoring solutions: Caring for a baby is always important. We can’t observe internal activities of the baby’s vital signs 24 hours a day. IoT sensors find a solutions to monitor babies. It notifies users through smartphone when your baby wakes up, if there are any changes in baby’s breathing pattern, body temperature, and even changes in body positions. A customized application can help you analyze the historical activities of your little one. It can also shows how the baby slept last night.
Tracking sensors: Smartphone sensors (Accelerator, Compass, GPS, Gyro, etc) and mobile connectivity options you have a extra-ordinary and well equipped Internet of Things device in the palm of your hand, that can automatically monitor your movements, exact location, and even workouts. GPS sensors connect to taxis and buses to indicate the location of these vehicles.
Mobile Platform have remarkable functionalities They can communicate contextual information such as time, location and user activity data. This data is ideal for applications in health, travel and personal assistant, security businesses and more industries.
They also use wireless tags, that can help you easily track down those lost keys, wallets or lovable pets. They find tiny tags you attach to the objects you care about. Now even if your phone is not available or turned off, you can find your lost item.
Gas sensors: Gas sensors detect the quantity and level of particular gases in the environment, those including oxygen, carbon dioxide, toxic gases like, methane and carbon monoxide. These sensors can be helpful in health and safety applications, HVAC and air quality are becoming an important factor especially in the building automation and related businesses.
Proximity sensors: Proximity sensors are used in measurement applications that measure the distance of an object or detect the presence.
Light sensors: Light sensors can help you to reduce electricity consumption (by turning off the lights when no one is in a room) and secure your home and office while everyone is away by turning the lights on and off.
Optical sensors can do the conversion of light rays into electronic signals. It is the simplest form of sensing light intensity and it is used for lighting controls from smartphones in smart building automation and smart street lighting. Optical sensor are used in plenty of applications and enables advanced functions such as 3D mapping, chemical analysis and medical scanning.
Pressure sensors: These are used to measure gasses and liquids pressure. That includes high-precision and programmable solutions to measure pressure accurately. Measuring pressure is critical and necessary in a number of industrial and commercial applications.
Temperature sensors: Temperature sensors offer a wide range of integration and multi-channel options to monitor diodes, transistors, processors etc. Temperature sensors are often used as a replacement for thermostats for monitoring, protection, calibration, and control. Temperature sensors can provide greater linearity, accuracy, full programmability and temperature detection.
Ultrasonic sensors: Ultrasonic sensors measure the time between an ultrasonic signal being sent and received. This can be used to measure fluid levels, fluid identification, proximity.
Humidity sensors: It determines the amount of water vapor and moisture in the air. Humidity is a function of temperature, so humidity sensors include integrated temperature sensors. This technology is used in many applications including environmental monitoring, automobiles, smart buildings, HVAC, warranty monitoring and remote weather stations.
Motion sensors: Motion sensors are used to determine the location and rotational or axial motion of any moving objects or component in a system.
Current sensors: Current sensor amplifiers are designed to monitor the current flow and measure the voltage drop in an entire system. They offer a unique topology and allows the common mode voltage to exceed the voltage supply. Integrated current sensors with precision resistors enable very accurate measurements.
Placing the above intelligent sensors at the data source can reduce communication barriers between devices and the users. A sensor integrated with others can provide intelligent functions and combinations of digital networking, offering an end-to-end solutions. With the coming era of IoT applications, sensors will become more prominent and environmentally aware. Whether you are out of our station or across anywhere in the world, your smartphone helps you gather insight into monitoring all of your IoT devices. BlueApp.io IoT solutions makes new devices or existing devices into smart IoT device by adding sensors to increase functions and features.
