This diagram shows the basic idea of IoT. Three smart devices -- a Smart Thermostat, a Smart Light Bulb, and a Smart Security Camera -- are connected to the internet. They send data to a central Cloud/Server where the data is stored and processed. The arrows pointing up represent the flow of data from each device to the cloud. This setup allows devices to communicate and be controlled remotely.

Variations - 2 Challenges

[intermediate] Draw a diagram showing IoT with devices sending data to the cloud and receiving commands back from the cloud.

[advanced] Draw a detailed IoT network diagram including sensors, actuators, a gateway device, and the cloud server.
