Summary
In this chapter, you connected the ESP32 to your local Wi-Fi network. You should be able to validate the preceding output in the PlatformIO console TERMINAL window, observing the Wi-Fi access, internet ping, and NTP synchronization information in addition to the temperature and humidity data.
In the next chapter, we will start the journey to connect the ESP32 to the AWS cloud, focusing on the IoT Core first. To do this, we will create a device in AWS IoT Core, generate access credential files, program these files in the code on ESP32, and set up a TLS (Transport Layer Security)-based MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) connection between ESP32 and AWS.
