Dear All,

Jeff started with Sensor, Actuator and Processor. I’d like to extend this model a bit. Because I think the processor could be either near to the actuator (e.g. the processor in a house regulates the heating because of sensor data.

This “intelligence” could also be somewhere in the cloud/internet. The processor could be a service on a server somewhere or and app on a smartphone.

So I’d like to add an IoT instance in the network.

A second point are intermediates or gateways (names are to be discussed). Because many solutions have one or more instances between sensor/actuator an the service in the cloud. Here e.g. several sensors are concentrated.

What do you think?

Best,
