The Things Framework (v1.1)
Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem of connected physical objects that are accessible through the internet.
The 'Thing' in IoT could be a person with a heart monitor or an automobile with built-in-sensors, i.e. objects that have been assigned an IP address and have the ability to collect and transfer data over a network without manual assistance or intervention. The embedded technology in the objects helps them to interact with internal states or the external environment.
A Thing has properties, actions and events.
- Property describes the available properties of a thing.
- Action is a function which can be performed on a thing.
- Event is the kind of event that can be emitted by a thing.
Things framework provides the necessary environment to create a thing and make it accessible through the network.
