Create
your
first
iDigi
®
Dia
Project
The
iDigi
Dia
(Device
Integration
Application)
is
software
written
in
Python
that
simplifies
the
task
of
gathering
data
from
attached
devices
(such
as
XBee
Sensors),
and
sending
the
gathered
data
to
iDigi,
allowing
for
easy
integration
with
client
applications
using
the
iDigi
Web
Services
API
to
access
it.
The
steps
in
this
section
will
help
you
build,
download,
and
launch
your
first
iDigi
Dia
application.
The
resulting
iDigi
Dia
application
will
contain
drivers
for
the
XBee
Sensor
and
XBee
Smart
Plug.
The
application
will
also
be
configured
to
report
its
data
using
the
RCI
presentation
for
access
with
iDigi
Web
Services
(which
will
be
demonstrated
later
in
this
guide).
To
begin
creating
your
first
iDigi
Dia
project:
1.
Open
the
iDigi
Dia
Project
Wizard
by
clicking
File
>
New
>
iDigi
Dia
Project
from
