Connect Desigo CC to KODE OS for controller data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Siemens Desigo CC to KODE OS. You can discover devices and points, collect fire and building data with hybrid pull-and-push delivery, and run supported actions from KODE OS when your deployment allows.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Collect Non-Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- An active account with Desigo CC and access to their API or developer portal
- Username and password credentials for the Desigo CC system
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Configure Connector in KODE OS
- Navigate to Data Sources in your building
- Click API Catalog and search for Desigo CC
- Click + Add Datasource
- Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow
Discover Devices and Points
After configuring the connector, click Discover on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the Desigo CC system and return a list of available devices and their data points. Review the discovered items and select the devices you want to register in KODE OS. For more details on the discovery process, see the Discovery guide.Devices and Points
When you discover devices from Desigo CC, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Controller
Canonical Type:default
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including Quiet, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesBMS Events
Desigo building management system events including controller alerts and system notificationsPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 3 minutes (min: 3 minutes, max: 1 hours)
- DesigoEvents — Default polling: 30 minutes (min: 30 minutes, max: 1 hours)
Available Actions
This integration supports actions that allow you to send commands to the Desigo CC system. Available actions are displayed on the device or entity detail page in KODE OS.Example Request
Expected Result
- KODE OS sends the action to the external API using the configured connector credentials
- The external system returns success (typically HTTP 2xx) and processes the requested operation
Use Cases
Once connected, this integration enables you to:- Monitor real-time HVAC, lighting, and building automation data from a single dashboard
- Set up automated alerts when equipment deviates from normal operating parameters
- Track energy consumption and optimize building performance with historical trend data
Troubleshooting
Authentication or connection error
Authentication or connection error
Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Verify the username and password are correct and the account has not been locked in the Desigo CC system.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Desigo CC system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the Desigo CC API.
