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:

1. A computer with internet access
2. An active Volkkommen V-VAC account
3. Basic understanding of IoT devices and MQTT protocol (optional but helpful)

Step 1:

Step 1: Create an Account

1. Visit V-VAC.
2. Click “Register” if you are a new user.
3. Provide a username and email, then click register.
4. A confirmation screen will appear, indicating that a verification email has been sent.
5. Open the email, copy the verification code, and click the verify button.
6. 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.
7. 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.

Step 2: Create a New Device

1. After logging in, open the Devices section from the left panel.
2. Click “Add New Device” and select Common Devices.
3. Enter the Device Name, Label, and Info and click next.
4. Enter the Inactivity Timeout, Country and Region thenclick next.
5. Uncheck Enable simulation Data andclick next.
6. Verify the device details and submit to create a new device.
7. Once created, you can view your device and its details in the devices section.
8. In Device section select Setup and create the MQTT credentials for further authentication.

Step 3: Device Integration Via MQTT

1. By MQTT one can send data to platform by using the topic data/v1/{token}
2. The token is available in the device table near every device. Each device have separate token.
3. In Device section select Setup and create the MQTT credentials for further authentication.
4. 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.

Step 4: Create Dashboard

1. Navigate to the Dashboards section in the main menu.
2. Click “Create Dashboard”.
3. Give your dashboard a name (e.g., Smart Sensor Dashboard).
4. Click the 3rd icon in the dashboard to open the dashboard.
5. Inside the dashboard editor, click “Edit” and click "Add Widget" to add new widgets.
6. In the selection menu choose any widget based on your data visualization needs.

For example:

1. Line Chart: For continuous data (temperature, pressure, etc.)
2. Gauge: For real-time values like speed or level
3. Bar Graph: For comparing sensor readings
4. Card: For displaying single-value metrics
5. Link each widget to a device telemetry key (the data your device sends).
6. After customizing your widget, click the Show on Dashboard button to display it on the dashboard.
7. To save your changes, click the Save button at the top-right corner of the dashboard.
