Eight short, step-by-step guides — with screenshots — that take you from zero to a live, automated IoT dashboard.
Video walkthrough
Create an API key and set up alerts
1. Create your free account
~2 minSign up with just your name and email, sign in with an emailed code, a password or Google, and everything is unlocked — devices, dashboards, API keys, alerts and automations.
2. Add your first device
~2 minRegister a device and get the token it uses to talk to the platform.
3. Send your first reading
~5 minPush a sensor value from an ESP32, Arduino or Raspberry Pi — or from any terminal — and watch it appear live.
4. Build a dashboard
~3 minTurn raw readings into number cards, gauges, charts, LEDs and maps.
5. Control a device
~5 minFlip a relay or LED, or set a value, straight from the dashboard using Blynk-style virtual pins.
6. Automate with n8n
~8 minRun no-code logic when a device event happens — notify, control devices back, log data or call AI.
7. Upload telemetry every 10 seconds (ESP8266 & Python)
~10 minPublish temperature, humidity and voltage to the platform over MQTT on a fixed interval — from an ESP8266 sketch or the same loop in Python.
8. Create an API key and set up alerts
~6 minCreate an account-level API key, send telemetry with it, and get an alert the moment a reading crosses a threshold — plus how to get the mobile app.
