An IoT Relay is a remote-controlled switch that can connect and operate various electrical devices in a home or office environment. It functions by receiving commands from an internet-connected device such as a smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant. This interaction occurs through various communication protocols, including Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Bluetooth, allowing seamless integration with smart home ecosystems.

    How IoT Relays Work

    The primary function of an IoT Relay is to act as an intermediary between the user's commands and the device it controls. When a command is issued via a mobile application or a voice command, the IoT Relay processes the request and activates the corresponding electrical circuit. For instance, if you want to turn on your living room lights, the app communicates with the relay, which then activates the switch, allowing the current to flow and illuminate the bulbs.
