The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of physical devices, vehicles, homes and other objects equipped with the appropriate sensors, software and communication interfaces to connect and exchange data between individual devices via the Internet. IoT enables everyday objects to collect and transmit data in real time, leading to increased convenience and safety for users, or optimization of production processes in factories.

It is not surprising, then, that sensors - electronic "sense organs" that allow devices to receive stimuli from the environment or measure physical quantities - are such an important element of the IoT. Without sensors, in fact, the existence of the IoT would make little sense - it is, among other things, telemetry applications (taking measurements at a distance) that constitute one of the most important application areas of the Internet of Things.
Unit sensor modules from M5Stack Technology
The ecosystem of modular electronics from M5Stack Technology includes a wide range of sensors, allowing the realization of various functionalities in industrial applications, building automation, telemetry networks for scientific purposes, or amateur IoT system projects. Our regular sales include modules with slotted optocouplers (straight and angled), gas sensors, infrared transmitters and receivers, magnetic field sensors or ultrasonic and laser ToF rangefinders.
The Unit series also includes sensors for color, motion, light intensity, soil moisture, air pressure and temperature, or even... saturation and heart rate (the latter is based on the popular MAX30100 integrated pulse oximeter).
