Building a sample application

We will start off by implementing an end-to-end solution, where we take the data from the DHT11 sensor and post it to the Kaa IoT.

Downloading Kaa

The first step we are going to do is set up Kaa. There are two approaches that we can follow:

• Local Sandbox running on VirtualBox
• Deployment to the AWS platform

In this chapter, we are going to follow the first option: setting up VirtualBox and then running a Kaa Sandbox image in it. If you do not have VirtualBox already installed, you can download it from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.

Once you have downloaded and installed VirtualBox, we need to download a Kaa Sandbox image. We are going to use Kaa version 0.10.0 in this chapter...
