The internet of things (IoT) has changed the comforts of every individual. Sensors and communication models play an important role in the effective implementation of IoT systems for any applications. Sensors can be classified based on the parameters to be measured and on the working principles. The second significant component in IoT-based systems is communication models, which help to exchange the data between the two IoT devices. Basically, there are four types of communication models that are commonly used: device to device, device to cloud, device to the gateway, and backend data sharing communication models. This chapter explains various sensors that can be connected to the internet for transferring data between IoT devices, application areas and communication models. The classification of IoT application areas is based on the scope of functionality, use, and adaptation. Sensors are classified on the basis of types of measurement such as vision, position, physical, and others. Basic communication models and open research challenges are explained at the end.
