Usually it’s sensors and it does usually make sense unless it’s also processing the data, IoT is usually simple switches. Aside from graphics such as video streaming off the top of my head, processing the data is not often useful aside from machine vision.

I’m not a big fan of IoT, although Linux based advantages are a good repository of software, familiarity if your a Linux/Unix user, and easy deployment/prototyping.
