Connect Milesight to KODE OS for indoor environmental quality, occupancy data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Milesight to KODE OS. You can discover multi-sensor devices and points, pull historical IEQ and occupancy data over REST, and consolidate smart-building sensor streams in Data Sources.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- An active account with Milesight and access to their API or developer portal
- OAuth client credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) from the Milesight developer portal
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Generate API Credentials
- Log in to the Milesight developer portal or admin console
- Navigate to the API or developer settings section
- Create a new API application or client
- Note the Client ID and Client Secret — you will need these when configuring the connector in KODE OS
Configure Connector in KODE OS
- Navigate to Data Sources in your building
- Click API Catalog and search for Milesight
- 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 Milesight 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 Milesight, KODE OS maps them to the following device types:- Air Quality Sensor (
airQuality) - Presence / Occupancy Sensor (
presenceDetection) - Traffic Counter (
trafficCounter)
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 sensorsPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 30 minutes (min: 30 minutes, max: 1 hours)
Use Cases
Once connected, this integration enables you to:- Monitor air quality metrics (CO2, VOC, humidity, temperature) across all occupied spaces
- Generate compliance reports for indoor environmental quality standards
- Trigger ventilation adjustments when air quality thresholds are exceeded
- Track real-time space utilization rates across floors and zones
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. Ensure the Client ID and Client Secret match the values from the Milesight developer portal.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Milesight 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 Milesight API.
