IoT as a technology area is more than just devices - it includes cloud based services that can process the sensor data, or send requests to actuators connected to IoT devices. It also includes devices that don't have connectivity, often referred to as edge devices, that can process and respond to sensor data themselves, usually using AI models trained in the cloud.
