Architecting smart IoT (Internet of Things) devices involves designing and developing interconnected devices that can collect and exchange data over the internet to perform various functions and tasks. These devices are equipped with sensors, microcontrollers, communication modules, and software, allowing them to interact with the physical world and communicate with other devices or central systems.
