Things
The physical objects or things, such as industrial equipment, devices or sensors, that connect to the cloud persistently or intermittently.

What is Azure IoT ?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
Components of Internet of Things (IOT)
Sensors/Devices
Sensors or devices collect data from their environment. Multiple sensors can be bundled together or sensors can be part of a device that does more than just sense things. For example, your phone is a device that has multiple sensors (camera, accelerometer, GPS, etc), but your phone is not just a sensor.
Connectivity
That data is sent to the cloud, but it needs a way to get there! The sensors/devices can be connected to the cloud through a variety of methods including: cellular, satellite, WiFi, Bluetooth, low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), or connecting directly to the internet via ethernet.
Data Processing
Once the data gets to the cloud, software performs some kind of processing on it.This could be very simple, such as checking that the temperature reading is within an acceptable range. Or it could also be very complex, such as using computer vision on video to identify objects (such as intruders in your house).
User
The information is made useful to the end-user in some way. This could be via an alert to the user (email, text, notification, etc). And rather than just call you to alert you of an intruder, the IoT system could also automatically notify relevant authorities.
