Connect Distech Controls to KODE OS for controller data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Distech Controls building systems to KODE OS. You can discover devices and points, collect sensor data, and work with schedules when your site exposes schedule discovery.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Discover Schedules
- Update Schedules
Prerequisites
- An active account with Distech Controls and access to their API or developer portal
- Username and password credentials for the Distech Controls 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 Distech Controls
- 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 Distech Controls 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.What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series sensor readings such as temperature, humidity, CO2, occupancy counts, energy consumption, light levels, and other measurable values from physical sensorsSchedule Sync
Schedule state synchronization data between KODE OS and the external system’s controller schedulesSchedule Sync (Partial)
Partial schedule synchronization for incremental schedule updatesPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 1 minutes (min: 1 minutes, max: 10 minutes)
Schedule Management
This integration supports discovering and managing schedules in the Distech Controls system. You can discover existing schedules, create new ones, and sync schedule states between KODE OS and the external system. For more details, see the Schedules guide.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 Distech Controls system.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Distech Controls 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 Distech Controls API.
