# 1.1 IoT Product Research

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="✓ TASK" %}
Conduct internet research to find an example IoT product or system for each of these contexts:

1. **Consumer Context:** home or personal use
2. **Business Context:** business, industry, agriculture, etc.
3. **Public Context:** government services, public infrastructure, healthcare, environment, etc.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**EXCLUDED:** You CANNOT research the following consumer products: smartphones, tablets, computers, headphones, stereo systems, TVs, Blu-Ray/DVD players, streaming players, or gaming consoles.
{% endhint %}

Gather information to summarize the following for each IoT product:

* What is the IoT product’s **name**, **purpose,** and **specific context of use**? (include product image)
* What **value** does the IoT product provide? (e.g., is it more convenient, is it more efficient, is it more cost-effective, is it safer, does it perform a task not possible otherwise, etc.)
* What **physical inputs** (such as: sensors, etc.) does the IoT product have? What data does it gather from its physical environment using these inputs?
* What **physical outputs** (such as: motors, etc.) does the IoT product have? What actions does it perform in its physical environment using these outputs?
* What type of **internet or network connection** (such as: cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) does the IoT product have? What data does it send or receive with apps, databases, or other devices through this connection?
* What **information sources** were used in your research? (include links to sources)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.idew.org/project-internet-of-things/project-instructions/1-discover-and-define-problem/1.1-iot-product-research.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
