In simple terms the IoT is a connection of : networked sensors, actuators, and smart devices that collect and share data. Packet Tracer 7 contains many new features to support the IoT. This includes the addition of IoT devices that can be configured to react to certain environmental values such as sun, wind, rain, and humidity. These devices can be configured to take actions based on the changing environmental values, such as turning on lights or closing garage doors. The next parts of learning will include instructions to locate the IoT devices, to connect them to your network, to configure and modify scripts to make them function, and to control these devices remotely. Packet Tracer provides everything you need to create simulated smart homes, smart cities, and smart factories. CONFIGURE IoT DEVICES USING PACKET TRACER Packet Tracer has a wide variety of sensors and smart devices that will allow you to design smart homes, smart cities, smart factories, and smart power grids
