From thermostats, to fitness bands, asset tracking devices, weather monitors, machine controls, and more, IoT encompasses a wide range of end products connected to each other and/or to users of the information they provide. Wired or wireless connections to the Internet enables these products to be remotely and securely monitored or controlled.
Microcontrollers play an important role in IoT products, handling key functions for sensor interface and processing, wired or wireless connectivity, driving displays for user interface, security, control, and more.Choosing the right microcontrollers depends on these design parameters as well as power efficiency (particularly for battery operated devices), performance (for handling complex sensor fusion and other algorithms), space constraints, and, in most cases, some combination. For example, in home automation, wireless sensors are often space-constrained and require multi-year battery life, while thermostats and control-panel displays are not hyper-power sensitive but may require a rich, intuitive user interface.
