Internet of Things (IoT) is a smart technology that allows communication between humans and all things that contain sensors, actuators, embedded electronics, software, or storage via the internet. As a result, IoT should be seen as a part of the overall Internet of the future, which is likely to be very different from what we are using today. Despite the advantages of IoT, energy efficiency is still considered one of the main challenges in IoT. There are many algorithms that have been proposed to solve the energy efficiency problem. Unfortunately, most of them have some drawbacks. As a result, an Enhanced Threshold Sensitive Distributed Energy-Efficient Clustering routing protocol (ETSDEEC) for WSN-based IoT was proposed in this paper. Hard and soft thresholds are used in the proposed protocol to determine whether nodes are allowed to send their sensed data. From the simulation, we found that the proposed ETSDEEC protocol performs better than EDEEC and TDEEC protocols in terms of network lifetime, energy dissipationand throughput. It is also found that the proposed ETSDEEC can improve the lifetime by 59.8% in comparison to EDEEC and about 37.7% in comparison to TDEEC protocols.
