These articles should contain easily-accessible and readable reviews of the new technology when it was released.
In addition to your product name or the type of sensor, consider search terms like:
These "smart searching" strategies can be used when searching almost any library database. These strategies work on Google too!
Another great "smart Google" strategy: Site limiting. For example:
"humidity sensors" site:.edu -- to limit to only educational sites. Also consider site:.gov
"internet of things" site:.techcrunch.com -- to limit only to TechCrunch
Here is just a sample of the many e-books on technical topics available. Search Research@UWW and limit in the dropdown menu for Books at UW-Whitewater to see what is in our collection.
Search for the technical term for your sensor, or the communication type.
1. Choose an Internet of Things (IoT) technology. If you are still deciding, check out a list such as this one for Household IoT products.
What does it do? How is it used (now or anticipated future uses)? What sensor(s) are in it to enable it to do XYZ?

If you're not sure, consider likely options listed in an article like this one. Search Google for Sensors in ______. Or search one of the Current News databases below for highly accessible news articles on a particular product. Often the product will use a combination of sensors.
3. Then, do some academic/scholarly research on the issues with that particular sensor. Use the sources in the Tech Articles box below.
