Volkkommen V-VAC IoT Platform
The Volkkommen V-VAC IoT Platform is a web-based environment that allows users to manage IoT devices, visualize real-time data, set rules, and generate reports — all from a single dashboard.
This guide provides a complete walkthrough on how to use the V-VAC platform through its web interface.
Supplies
Before starting, make sure you have:
- A computer with internet access
- An active Volkkommen V-VAC account
- Basic understanding of IoT devices and MQTT protocol (optional but helpful)
Step 1: Create an Account
- Visit V-VAC.
- Click “Register” if you are a new user.
- Provide a username and email, then click register.
- A confirmation screen will appear, indicating that a verification email has been sent.
- Open the email, copy the verification code, and click the verify button.
- You will be redirected to a page where you must enter the verification code and create a strong password. The password must include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Click the Register button. A success message will appear, and you will be redirected to the login page, where you can sign in using your email and password.
Create a New Device
- After logging in, open the Devices section from the left panel.
- Click “Add New Device” and select Common Devices.
- Enter the Device Name, Label, and Info and click next.
- Enter the Inactivity Timeout, Country and Region then click next.
- Uncheck Enable simulation Data and click next.
- Verify the device details and submit to create a new device.
- Once created, you can view your device and its details in the devices section.
- In Device section select Setup and create the MQTT credentials for further authentication.
Device Integration Via MQTT
- By MQTT one can send data to platform by using the topic data/v1/{token}
- The token is available in the device table near every device. Each device have separate token.
- In Device section select Setup and create the MQTT credentials for further authentication.
- After setting the desired username and password use that to configure mqtt and send data in the format given,
{
"Temperature":30,
"Humidity":40,
"Current":3
}
The provided data will be inserted automatically to the platform on respective device. You can view the latest data on the device telemetry section.
Create Dashboard
- Navigate to the Dashboards section in the main menu.
- Click “Create Dashboard”.
- Give your dashboard a name (e.g., Smart Sensor Dashboard).
- Click the 3rd icon in the dashboard to open the dashboard.
- Inside the dashboard editor, click “Edit” and click "Add Widget" to add new widgets.
- In the selection menu choose any widget based on your data visualization needs.
For example:
- Line Chart: For continuous data (temperature, pressure, etc.)
- Gauge: For real-time values like speed or level
- Bar Graph: For comparing sensor readings
- Card: For displaying single-value metrics
- Link each widget to a device telemetry key (the data your device sends).
- After customizing your widget, click the Show on Dashboard button to display it on the dashboard.
- To save your changes, click the Save button at the top-right corner of the dashboard.
