Quick Start Guide

Get your first device connected to SiliconWit.IO in just a few minutes.

Prerequisites

• A SiliconWit.IO account (Sign up free)
• An IoT device (ESP32, Arduino with WiFi, or any MQTT-capable device)
• WiFi connection

Step 1: Create Your Account

1. Go to siliconwit.io/register
2. Sign up with email or use Google/GitHub
3. Verify your email address
4. Log in to your dashboard

Step 2: Add a Device

1. In your dashboard, click “Add Device”
2. Enter a name for your device (e.g., “Office Temperature Sensor”)
3. Select the device type
4. Copy your Device ID and Access Token

Step 3: Configure Your Device

Use these credentials to connect your device via MQTT:

Broker: mqtt.siliconwit.io
Port: 1883 (or 8883 for TLS)
Username: <your-device-id>
Password: <your-access-token>

Example: ESP32 with Arduino IDE

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>

const char* ssid = "YOUR_WIFI";
const char* password = "YOUR_PASSWORD";
const char* mqtt_server = "mqtt.siliconwit.io";
const char* device_id = "YOUR_DEVICE_ID";
const char* access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN";

WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

  client.setServer(mqtt_server, 1883);

  while (!client.connected()) {
    if (client.connect(device_id, device_id, access_token)) {
      Serial.println("Connected to MQTT");
    } else {
      delay(5000);
    }
  }
}

void loop() {
  client.loop();

  // Publish temperature every 10 seconds
  float temperature = 25.5; // Replace with actual sensor reading

  String payload = "{\"temperature\":" + String(temperature) + "}";
  client.publish("devices/YOUR_DEVICE_ID/telemetry", payload.c_str());

  delay(10000);
}

Step 4: View Your Data

1. Go to your Dashboard
2. Select your device
3. Watch the data appear in real-time!
