Overview

The InstantIoT app is built around three places. Three tabs at the bottom of every screen — Maker, Maker Pro, and Resources — and a Dashboard you reach when you open a project.

This page is your map.

Maker (Direct Mode)

Maker is where you live in Direct Mode. Your Wi-Fi-capable boards (ESP32, ESP8266, Arduino UNO R4 WiFi) broadcast their own network, your phone joins them, you control them directly. One device, one project, just your phone and your board.

Open the Maker tab to see all your projects, create a new one, or jump back into the one you were working on.

Maker Pro (Server Mode)

Maker Pro is where you live in Server Mode. Your devices and your phones connect through an InstantIoT Server you host yourself — on a Raspberry Pi, your personal computer, and more. Multiple devices working together, persistent state.

Open the Maker Pro tab to register a new server, sign in to one you’ve already added, or browse the projects on a server you’re connected to.

Resources

Resources is everything that’s not a project: theme and language, links to the documentation, the community, the Arduino SDK on GitHub, widget examples, and legal pages.

It’s also where you can replay the onboarding tour if you want a refresher.

The Dashboard

The Dashboard isn’t a tab. It’s the screen you land on when you open a project — whether that project lives on your local Direct Mode list, or on a server. The Dashboard is where you arrange widgets on a canvas, configure them, generate the matching Arduino code, and switch to live control.

The Dashboard works the same in both modes. Only the connection underneath changes.
