Visual analytics have an important role in the exploration and analysis of large amounts of data in IoT applications. Data visualizations can provide overviews of different aspects of data and user interaction can assist exploration. Recent advances in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence have provided methods that can be used in conjunction with visual analytics to enhance user perception. However, AI methods are often used as "black boxes", making them difficult for end-users to trust. In this paper, a novel visual analytics platform is presented, targeting two goals: a) an architecture for the creation of custom interactive visual analytics dashboards using well-defined components linked to each other, and b) the inclusion of components specifically for making AI methods more explainable. The proposed architecture and components are being used in the context of the AI4IoT pilot within the AI4EU project, which targets air quality monitoring through AI and visualization.
