Adafruit IO is integrated with your adafruit.com account so you don’t need to create yet another online account! You need an Adafruit account to use Adafruit IO because we want to make sure the data you upload is available to only you (unless you decide to publish your data).
Summary of the guide content:
– The guide provides instructions on how to set up and use a large arcade button to control an Apple HomeKit-enabled smart outlet.
– It includes steps for integrating the button with the HomeKit setup to create a physical switch for turning on and off holiday lights or other devices.
Adafruit products used in the guide:
– Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 WiFi: This microcontroller board is used to connect the arcade button to the internet. https://www.adafruit.com/product/2821
– Massive Arcade Button with LED: This large, eye-catching button is the physical interface for triggering the smart outlet. https://www.adafruit.com/product/1185
– NeoPixel Diffused 8mm Through-Hole LED: This LED is used to provide visual feedback from the button. https://www.adafruit.com/product/1734

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
