The Internet of Things is one of the most important and promising topics on technological advancement today. According to various researchers, it has been concluded that there are more than 20 billion connected devices around us such as smartphones, wearables, and other such devices. All these devices which surround us have sensors. Sensors monitor our health, the quality of the air, the security of our home, and much more. They each have the ability to monitor various important processes. 

The market for the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms has its own set of integrated software capabilities. These platforms rely upon working sensors. The industrial IoT platform depends upon various sensors like an IoT force-sensing resistor for stability, reliability, and security because platform failures cost millions of dollars and in some extreme cases, lives too. 

The constant development in the prototyping boards and comparably low prices of sensors allow us to easily use them in IoT projects. Before knowing how to use sensors with these boards, it is very important to note that each sensor like for the IoT LoRaWAN sensors has its own operating voltage range. This parameter holds tremendous importance because the temperature supplied by the boards should not be higher than the maximum voltage allowed by the sensor. 

One of the most prominent features of IoT sensors is their tremendous ability to self-identify on a network. This ability of IoT sensors to self-identify, coupled with their speed and analytical capabilities, simply means that one can do a lot more processing in real-time on the device.
