IoT Protocols

Internet of Things (IoT) protocols are communication rules that allow smart devices to connect and share data over the internet. They ensure devices like sensors, smart home devices, and wearables can talk to each other seamlessly. Common IoT protocols include MQTT, which is efficient for sending small messages, and CoAP, designed for low-power devices. These protocols help manage how data is transmitted, ensuring reliability and security while minimizing power usage. Essentially, they act as the languages and guidelines that enable devices to work together in our increasingly connected world.
