Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the IoT pattern that will be used when a human

response is required to device generated alerts.

The project you developed was one example where Arduino sends alerts and a

process is started in response to them.

Initiating a process is just one way to respond. Processes provide you with a more

streamlined and structured response, but depending on the requirement, you can always

use e-mail, SMS, etc.

Due to regulatory requirements or lack of response technology, human intervention

will continue to be a requirement for some IoT applications. As IoT progresses, the

amount of human intervention will be reduced as well.
