1️⃣ What is IoT? (Internet of Things)

🔹 Simple Definition

The Internet of Things (IoT) means connecting physical devices (like lights, fans, sensors, motors, machines) to the internet so that they can:

• Collect data

• Share data

• Be monitored remotely

• Be controlled automatically or from a mobile phone

🔹 Real-Life Examples of IoT

🔹 In Simple Words

IoT = Sensors + Controller + Internet + App

2️⃣ Basic IoT System Architecture

Every IoT system has 4 main parts:

🔹 1. Sensors

Sensors collect information from the real world.

Examples:

• Temperature sensor → measures heat

• Soil moisture sensor → measures water in soil

• Gas sensor → detects gas leakage

• Motion sensor → detects movement

🔹 2. Controller (Brain of System)

The controller reads sensor data and takes decisions.

In this course, we use:
👉 ESP32 microcontroller

🔹 3. Internet / WiFi

The controller connects to WiFi and sends data to the cloud or mobile app.

🔹 4. User Interface (Mobile App / Dashboard)

This is where the user sees data and controls devices.

In this course, we use:
👉 Serial Monitor (computer screen)
👉 Blynk Mobile App (phone dashboard)

🔹 Diagram (Conceptual)

3️⃣ What is ESP32?

🔹 Simple Meaning

ESP32 is a small computer on a chip that can:

• Read sensors

• Control motors and relays

• Connect to WiFi

• Send data to mobile apps

🔹 Why We Use ESP32 in This Course

🔹 In Simple Words

ESP32 = Brain of all your projects
