Start here: your first InstantIoT project in 10 minutes

Welcome :waving_hand:

New to InstantIoT? Here’s the fastest path from zero to a working project.


What InstantIoT is

A no-code app to build IoT dashboards, control your devices and read your sensors in real time — on ESP32, ESP8266 and other Arduino-compatible boards. You design the dashboard, the app generates the matching Arduino sketch, and you control your hardware live.


Your first project

The Quickstart walks you through a complete example — a button on your phone that turns on an LED on your board — in about 10 minutes:

You’ll need an ESP32 or ESP8266, a USB cable, the Arduino IDE, and the InstantIoT app.


Pick your mode

  • Direct Mode — your phone connects straight to your board over Wi-Fi. No account, no server. Perfect for a single project.
  • Server Mode — run your own self-hosted server for multiple devices and users, with history and logging.
