# 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)
