# IoT

You can trigger your virtual being with IoT signals. Check it out!

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)
