Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clearer Structure:** The code is now divided into logical functions: `simulate_device_report`, `detect_anomaly`, `trigger_alert`.  This makes it more readable and maintainable.
* **`IoTDevice` Struct:**  A `struct` is used to represent an IoT device, containing its ID, type, the last reported value, and the expected range.  This makes the code more organized and easier to extend. `#[derive(Debug, Clone)]` allows printing the structure and copying it.
* **Anomaly Detection:** The `detect_anomaly` function now explicitly checks if the reported value falls outside the expected range.  It prints a message to the console when an anomaly is detected.
* **Alert Triggering:** The `trigger_alert` function simulates triggering an alert.  In a real-world application, this would involve sending an email, SMS message, or pushing a notification to a monitoring dashboard.  The example includes the current timestamp.
* **Simulation:** The `simulate_device_report` function now simulates device data within a realistic range of expected values.  It introduces some randomness to make the simulation more interesting.  Critically, it *still* allows values outside the expected range for anomaly simulation.
* **`HashMap` for Devices:**  Uses a `HashMap` to store the IoT devices.  This allows for easy access to devices by their ID.  Critically, this makes updating the `last_reported_value` easy and efficient.
* **Error Handling (Basic):** While the example is simplified, the use of `unwrap()` after `duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH)` could potentially cause a panic.  In a production environment, you would want to handle this more gracefully.
* **Concise Anomaly Reporting:** The anomaly reporting message is more informative, including the device ID, the reported value, and the expected range.
* **Comments:** Added comments to explain the purpose of each section of the code.
* **Random Number Generation:** Uses `rand::thread_rng()` and `gen_range()` for more reliable random number generation. Critically, the random number generation is now *within* a small deviation from the expected range, making anomalies rarer but more realistic.
* **Realistic Range Check:**  The `detect_anomaly` function compares `value` against both the minimum and maximum values of the range.
* **Device Update:** The `last_reported_value` is now updated after each simulated reading and stored back in the `HashMap`.  This is crucial for the simulation to reflect the device's "state."
* **Clearer Output:** Added messages to indicate when monitoring is complete and to show device values when no anomaly is detected.
* **Simulated Delay:** Added a small `std::thread::sleep` to slow down the simulation output, making it more readable.

How to run:

1.  **Save:** Save the code as `iot_monitor.rs`.
2.  **Compile:** Open a terminal and run `cargo build`. This will create an executable in the `target/debug/` directory.  You must have Rust and Cargo installed.
3.  **Run:** Execute the program with `cargo run`.
4.  **Observe:** Watch the output in the terminal. You should see simulated device data and anomaly alerts if any values fall outside the expected ranges.

This improved example provides a more robust and realistic simulation of IoT device monitoring with anomaly detection in Rust.  It's a good starting point for building a more complex system. Remember to adapt the code to your specific needs and add proper error handling and logging for production use.
