What are the various components in the Internet of Things ecosystem?

We are a company selling eldercare products. Recently, we plan to develop a Bluetooth watch. Is there anyone to brief the components of IoT ecosystem.

What Others Are Asking

Do I have to protect PCB from radio frequency reflection?

I am designing a system on megahertz frequency bands (~ 400-1000MHz.) This device is connected to a variable antenna which does not necessarily stay in match with the circuit so there will be some reflection of the power back to the circuit. The feeding power would not be more than 0dBm at maximum. Do I ever need to take care of the reflections at all?

Where should I store PCB?

I have received the final prototypes from manufacturer and all is good after our checking. And we want to keep it well. Do you have any tips about that?

How can I electrically isolate a PCB from a heat sink?

I have a set of LED driving lights for motorcycle that must be wired through a ground-leg pulse width modulation dimmer. The problem is the mounting bracket for the lights is grounded, so the lamp shorts to ground through the motorcycle chassis and the PWM dimmer cant dim the lamps. How do I handle this problem?
