Testing project

We have two devices in the solution. Let’s begin with the plug. We will flash the application on the devkit, then provision it to ESP RainMaker and see how the plug application behaves.

Testing plug

We can test the plug application as follows:

1. Make sure the plug hardware is ready with ESP32-C3 DevkitM-1 and the relay module connected to it.
2. Go to the plug ESP-IDF project directory and flash the application on the devkit:

   $ idf.py erase-flash flash monitor
   Executing action: erase-flash
   Serial port /dev/ttyUSB0
   Connecting....
   Detecting chip type... ESP32-C3

3. Start the RainMaker application on your mobile device and add the plug. The application runs a wizard for provisioning. When the provisioning is completed, tap on the Done button and return to the main screen.
