IoT Platform Configuration Guide

This guide offers comprehensive instructions on configuring various IoT platforms, including EasyIoT, Siot v1, and Siot v2, focusing on setting up devices, WiFi networks, and MQTT parameters for efficient data handling and connectivity.

EasyIoT Platform Configuration

1.Open the EasyIoT Workspace: https://iot.dfrobot.com/workshop.html . If you don’t have an account, you will need to register first.

2.Create the required number of devices. For example, if you plan to report two data, such as temperature and humidity, you only need to create two devices. You can also create up to ten devices, leaving unused devices unconfigured for future use.

3.Record the following parameters from the EasyIoT platform to input into the WiFi module configuration:

  • WiFi SSID: A WiFi network name.
  • WiFi Password: The password for the WiFi network.
  • MQTT Server: iot.dfrobot.com (this parameter is fixed in the EasyIoT platform).
  • MQTT Username: Located at position 1 in the image below.
  • MQTT Password: Located at position 2 in the image below.
  • Topic Line 1: Located at position 3 in the image below.
  • Topic Line 2: Located at position 4 in the image below.
  • ...
  • Topic Line 10: Located at position 5 in the image below.
    4.At this point, the EasyIoT platform configuration is complete, continue to configure the WiFi module

Siot v1 Platform Configuration

  1. Download
    - Windows 32&64 bit system Click to download
    - MacOSClick to download
  2. After completion, open the exe file
  3. On your computer, press "Win + R" to open the cmd command line terminal.
  4. Type the command ipconfig and press Enter. Locate and record the IPv4 Address of the wireless LAN adapter.
    The wifi module and the device running siot must be connected to the same network
  5. Record the following parameters from the Siot v1 platform to configure the WiFi module:
  • WiFi SSID: Connect to the same WiFi network as the computer running SIoT.exe. This can be a local area network.
  • WiFi Password: The password for the WiFi network.
  • MQTT Server: The IP address obtained in Step 4 (e.g., 192.168.9.187).
  • MQTT Username: siot (fixed parameter in the Siot v1 platform).
  • MQTT Password: dfrobot (fixed parameter in the Siot v1 platform).
  • Topic Line 1: siot/Line1 (In the Siot v1 platform, the topic will be automatically created based on the name you provide, formatted as siot/xxxx).
  • Topic Line 2: siot/Line2 (Similar to Line 1, formatted as siot/xxxx).
  • ...
  • Topic Line 10: siot/Line10 (Formatted as siot/xxxx).
  1. In your browser, enter the IP address obtained in Step 4 followed by :8080. For example: 192.168.9.187:8080.
  2. Siot v1 Platform Configuration Complete, Proceed to configure the WiFi module as outlined in the previous steps.
    Expected Outcome: Once the sensor, SCI module, and WiFi module are properly connected and functioning:
  • Open the Siot v1 page from Step 6.
  • Click "View Device List""View Messages" to see the uploaded sensor data.

Siot v2 Platform Configuration

Explanation: It is recommended to use the Unihiker M10 to run the Siot v2 service. This tutorial is based on running the Siot v2 service on the M10.
If you prefer to run the Siot v2 service on a computer, Please download and install: SIoT V2 Download,run the .bat file when you're done, other operations are the same as siotv1.

The wifi module and the device running siot must be connected to the same network

  1. Connect the Unihiker M10 to your computer using a Type-C cable.
  2. Power on the Unihiker, then open a browser and enter 10.1.2.3 to access the webpage.
  3. In the "Network Settings" section, connect the M10 to WiFi and record the IP address displayed.
  4. Enable the SIOT service in the “Application Switch”, and then “Open Page”.
  5. Click New Topic, enter the topic name, here in order to better correspond to the number of lines displayed on the SCI screen, named Line x
  6. Create the required number of devices. For example, if you plan to report two data, such as temperature and humidity, you only need to create two devices. You can also create up to ten devices, leaving unused devices unconfigured for future use.
  7. Record the following parameters from the Siot v2 platform to configure the WiFi module:
  • WiFi SSID: Use the same WiFi network connected to the M10 in Step 3. This can be a local area network.
  • WiFi Password: The password for the WiFi network.
  • MQTT Server: The IP address obtained in Step 3 (e.g., 192.168.9.223).
  • MQTT Username: siot (fixed parameter in the Siot v2 platform).
  • MQTT Password: dfrobot (fixed parameter in the Siot v2 platform).
  • Topic Line 1: siot/Line1 (In Step 6, double-click to copy the corresponding topic name).
  • Topic Line 2: siot/Line2 (In Step 6, double-click to copy the corresponding topic name).
  • ...
  • Topic Line 10: siot/Line10 (In Step 6, double-click to copy the corresponding topic name).
  1. Siot v2 Platform Configuration Complete, Proceed to configure the WiFi module as described earlier.

Expected Outcome: After the sensor, SCI module, and WiFi module are properly connected and working:

  1. Open the Siot v2 webpage from Step 6.
  2. Click "View Details" to see the uploaded sensor data.
