Creating app from basics
In this section, we shall create an app from the basics. Here you will have the control over of creating UI and deciding actions and workflows.

Give an appropriate name to your app.

The editor using which we shall create clickable elements and control their actions via the Bolt plugin is shown below
Installing the Bolt IoT plugin

- Click on "Add plugin"
- Search for Bolt IoT, wait for it to get listed and then install it.
- Provide your API_KEY and DEVICE_ID from your Bolt cloud account.
Please ignore the optional variables
Since we don't have any development specific API_KEY and DEVICE_ID for testing purpose, we can ignore them.
