Connect WattStopper to KODE OS for lighting data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect WattStopper to KODE OS. You can discover lighting control devices and points, stream delta updates over TCP/IP, and use supported schedules so code-compliant lighting data stays current in Data Sources.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Discover Schedules
- Create Schedules
- Update Schedules
- Delete Schedules
Prerequisites
- Network access to the WattStopper controller or device
- The IP address and port of the on-site system
- Login credentials for the WattStopper 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 WattStopper
- 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 WattStopper 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: 30 seconds (min: 30 seconds, max: 1 hours)
Schedule Management
This integration supports discovering and managing schedules in the WattStopper 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
Cannot connect to controller
Cannot connect to controller
Verify the IP address and port are correct. Ensure the WattStopper controller is powered on and connected to the network. Check that firewalls allow inbound connections on the configured port from the KODE OS server.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the WattStopper 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 WattStopper API.
