Exploring input controls

Input controls are very important in IoT product development, where users control the flow of operations according to metrics. The latest trends and technologies in the User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) field bring lots of different input controls that vary in size, shape, and design, providing a better end user experience.

The Arduino IoT Cloud team has taken account of the latest trends in the market and provided nine different, stunning input widgets, each of which provides users the ability to give input to Things in various ways. Each widget is linked to a single cloud variable; you can link multiple widgets to a single cloud variable, but the data type must be the one specified by the widget control. In the following subsections, I have categorized the input widgets into various groups, based on their resemblance with each other.
