Welcome to VWire
VWire is a cloud IoT platform for connecting, monitoring, and controlling devices from anywhere. Build real-time dashboards with drag-and-drop widgets, receive push and email alerts, send remote commands to hardware, and update firmware over-the-air without managing any infrastructure.
How it works
Your Device ──MQTT/TLS──▶ VWire Cloud ──Real-time──▶ Your Dashboard
▲ │
└──────────── Commands (pin writes) ◀─────────────────────┘
- Device connects to
mqtt.vwire.io:8883using its auth token. - Device publishes sensor data to virtual pins (
V0–V255). - VWire stores the data and forwards it in real-time to your dashboard.
- Widgets render the data and let you send commands back to the device.
Core concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Pins | Virtual, digital, and analog channels used by widgets and device code |
| Project | A named dashboard containing widgets; shareable with other users |
| Widget | A UI element bound to a virtual pin — displays data or sends commands |
| Device | Hardware authenticated by an auth token and a device ID |
| Notification | In-app, email, or mobile push alert triggered by device conditions |
