Internet of Things (IoT)
 IoT is short for Internet of things.
 The internet of things (IoT) is inter-networking of
physical devices.
 IoT has ability to transfer data over a network
without requiring human-to-human or human-to-
computer interaction.
 IoT has many applications in agriculture, smart cities,
smart home, healthcare, business sectors, traffic
monitoring, transport and logistics etc.

20
 Thinger.io Cloud Server Platform
 Thinger.io is to be used as cloud service provider.
 Thinger.io platform connect and manage the device
within minute.
 Although this platform is an open source platform for
the IoT, it provides a ready to use scalable cloud
infrastructure for connecting the device.
 It can be connected anything such as Arduino,
ESP8266, Raspberry Pi and Node MCU .
21
Continued…
 It can be connected to other microcontroller or
system for real time sensing and actuating over REST
API.

 Maker can register for free accounts to start building

IoT projects in minutes just using thinger.io cloud
infrastructure.
