Before you can use Digi-Key IoT Studio, you'll need to install two applications: DK IoT Studio Mobile and IoT Agent.
Install DK IoT Studio Mobile App
The Digi-Key IoT Studio app is an app which works with microcontrollers such as the Adafruit Feather ESP32 Huzzah and the Digi-Key IoT Platform. It lets you monitor your connected projects from your phone or tablet.
Install IoT Agent
You'll need the IoT Agent to program your HUZZAH32 from Digi-Key IoT Studio. The IoT Agent is a local application that's used to program hardware from your web browser. It runs on every major desktop operating system:
If you encounter an issue with running the IoT Agent, post up on the Digi-Key Tech Forum for support.
Creating a Digi-Key IoT Studio Project
Once you installed both the Digi-Key IoT Mobile App and IoT Agent, navigate to the Digi-Key IoT Studio website. You'll be prompted to log in with your Digi-Key account, or create one if you haven't yet.

You'll be brought to the Studio Projects screen. From the Studio Projects screen, create a new project by clicking the + button. |
|
|
You'll be creating a project using the Adafruit HUZZAH32 board. Select the Huzzah32 and name the project IoT Home. |
|
|
Once the project is created successfully, you'll be brought to the Embedded Workspace for your project. The embedded workspace in Digi-Key IoT Studio Project allows you to build embedded firmware. You'll be using this workspace to program your HUZZAH32. |
Let's get started by building a project which can turn on or off the smart home's LEDs from the mobile app.
