Node-RED makes it easy to connect to Golioth using WebSockets and our REST API. With those in place, you can monitor live data from your devices, and control them via updates to LightDB state data.
Golioth communicates with IoT devices using the CoAP protocol. While our official SDK is built on Zephyr, any platform with CoAP and pre-shared key authentication can be used on the Golioth platform. Here's how to set up the ESP-IDF to work with Golioth.
The ESP32 is a great way to get up and running quickly on Golioth. This article, and the accompanying video, walks through the process of provisioning an ESP32, installing the Zephyr RTOS toolchain, then loading and running your firmware.
