# IoT

In order to trigger your virtual being with external signals from IoT on Windows (e.g. open window, movement, light), you need a set of hardware and [software](/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/operating-system/windows/openhab.md). There is a number of devices and communication protocols that you can utilize ([guide for interested](https://www.emnify.com/blog/iot-connectivity-comparison-guide#:~:text=Connectivity%20is%20a%20critical%20component,functions%20they%20were%20designed%20for.)). We build our solution on the basis of a few components that communicate through Zigbee protocol:

* [Conbeee II ](https://www.phoscon.de/en/conbee2)- USB Zigbee gateway (needed to connect IoT Devices)
* Any IoT device from [list of compatible devices](https://zigbee.blakadder.com/deconz.html)
* Once you have yous hardware setup check out [how to work with it](/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/operating-system/windows/openhab.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.virbe.ai/touchpoints/kiosk-apps/metahuman-kiosk/hardware-setup/iot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
