The components for each device in Intel IoT Analytics can be either:
Actuator or time series.
Account, actuator or time series.
Proxy, account, actuator or time series.
Each time we publish data from a registered device to Intel IoT Analytics, we create:
An actuator.
An account.
An observation.
A time series is:
A series of actions performed by an actuator, that is, a collection of actions.
A series of values captured from a sensor, that is, a collection of observations.
A series of triggered alarms, that is, a collection of alarms.
We can use the following command-line utility to activate our board as a device in an Intel IoT Analytics account:
iotkit-admin
iotkit-configure
iotkit-setup
In order to send observations from a device with the REST API provided by Intel IoT Analytics, we need the following token:
The sensor token.
The observation token.
The device token.

Overview of this book
Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way devices/things interact with each other. And when you have IoT with Python on your side, you'll be able to build interactive objects and design them.
This book lets you stay at the forefront of cutting-edge research on IoT. We'll open up the possibilities using tools that enable you to interact with the world, such as Intel Galileo Gen 2, sensors, and other hardware. You will learn how to read, write, and convert digital values to generate analog output by programming Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in Python. You will get familiar with the complex communication system included in the board, so you can interact with any shield, actuator, or sensor.
Later on, you will not only see how to work with data received from the sensors, but also perform actions by sending them to a specific shield. You'll be able to connect your IoT device to the entire world, by integrating WiFi, Bluetooth, and Internet settings. With everything ready, you will see how to work in real time on your IoT device using the MQTT protocol in python.
By the end of the book, you will be able to develop IoT prototypes with Python, libraries, and tools.
