Connect Lighting Control to KODE OS for lighting data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect your lighting control system to KODE OS. You can discover devices and points, pull snapshot data over REST, and use supported schedules so lighting state stays synchronized with Data Sources.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Discover Schedules
- Update Schedules
Prerequisites
- An active account with Lighting Control and access to their API or developer portal
- API key or token from the Lighting Control platform
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Generate API Credentials
- Log in to the Lighting Control 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 Lighting Control
- 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 Lighting Control 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 Lighting Control, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Lighting Fixture
Canonical Type:lighting
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including Occupancy, Scene, LuxLevel, CommsFaults, LampFaults, EmergencyFaults, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesSchedule 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: 5 minutes (min: 5 minutes, max: 1 hours)
Schedule Management
This integration supports discovering and managing schedules in the Lighting Control 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 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 Lighting Control platform.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Lighting Control 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 Lighting Control API.
