Connect Ecco Sensors to KODE OS for lighting, other data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Ecco Sensors to KODE OS. You can discover devices and points, pull environmental and energy-related data over REST with historical collection, and monitor lighting-adjacent sensor streams alongside other building data.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- An active account with Ecco Sensors and access to their API or developer portal
- API key or token from the Ecco Sensors platform
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Generate API Credentials
- Log in to the Ecco Sensors platform or admin console
- Navigate to the API settings, developer section, or account settings
- Generate a new API key or token
- Copy the key and store it securely — you will need it 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 Ecco Sensors
- 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 Ecco Sensors 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 sensorsPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 15 minutes (min: 15 minutes, max: 1 hours)
Use Cases
Once connected, this integration enables you to:- Monitor lighting system status, energy usage, and occupancy-driven behavior
- Coordinate lighting schedules with HVAC and building automation systems
- Track lighting energy consumption and identify optimization opportunities
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 Ensure the API key or token is valid and has not been revoked or expired in the Ecco Sensors platform.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Ecco Sensors 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 Ecco Sensors API.
