ControlCom Connect Documentation

ControlCom Connect is an IoT platform for monitoring and controlling equipment: connect devices, store their readings, and put those readings on dashboards, diagrams, alarms and reports. This site documents the web app, the Edge Server, and the API.

What is ControlCom Connect

ControlCom Connect is used by facilities and operations teams to keep an eye on electrical systems, generators, utilities and other site equipment. Devices publish their readings to the platform, either through the ControlCom Edge Server or directly over MQTT and HTTP, and each reading is stored as a Variable.

From there the platform covers what a team needs to run a site: Assets group Variables into the equipment they belong to, Alarms watch for thresholds and send notifications, Dashboards and Diagrams show live values, the Map places every Location by alarm state, and Reports produce formatted output for compliance work. Access is organised per Organization with role-based permissions.
