Hey there, first time poster and new to this whole thing. I followed the magic band reader tutorial (https://learn.adafruit.com/magic-band-reader/overview) and have it running fine. I wanted to add some "smart" connectivity so I can control a light switch or outlet. I was thinking I would try to add wifi which I can then post data to adafruit io, and then have IFTTT watch that feed and send a command to Alexa which in turn will control my device.
Was looking at the esp32 wifi breakout board (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4201) and following this guide to add the appropriate bits of code to my py file (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-air ... et-connect). Am I missing anything and would this work? I have the adafruit feather rp2040 as listed in the initial magic band build.

Re: Adding smart connectivity to magic band project
That should work.
I'd suggest taking it in steps though. Get a basic Wifi connection working, then connect to Adafruit.io, then work on IFTTT interaction, and so on.
