What are the various components in the Internet of Things ecosystem?

We are a company selling eldercare products. Recently, we plan to develop a Bluetooth watch. Is there anyone to brief the components of IoT ecosystem.

Hardware

  1. Sensors – to sense some parameters like Temperature etc.
  2. Actuators/Relays – to control something like an aircon compressor/heater
  3. Micro-controller
  4. Internet connectivity using Wifi/ethernet/Lora
  5. PCB with above-mentioned components
  6. Additional parts like display, keyboards, etc.

Software and firmware

  1. backed and front-end server software for a better user interface
  2. mobile apps for user interface

What Others Are Asking

Are there any standard materials used to cover PCB SMT pads?

I have a PCB that was poorly designed and there is a ground pad that is too close to a signal pad. As a result, the signal pad on the surface mount component will short to ground. I was looking to use some ink or other material to cover the ground pad. The pads are too small to fit Kapton tape. Are there any standard materials used to cover PCB SMT pads?

Do electronics distributers test each component before sending them out?

I’m trying to decide whether to order components direct from manufacturers in China or from distributors in the US. If I have to test each component either way, I’m not sure if it’s a counterfeit, especially when prices are 100x more expensive from distributors.
