# MeterConnex

> Connect MeterConnex to KODE OS for meters data

> Connect MeterConnex to KODE OS for meters data integration

## Overview

Use this integration to connect MeterConnex meter data management to KODE OS. You can discover meters, poll snapshot readings on a schedule, and register webhooks so interrogation results and events surface in KODE OS without separate portals.

| Property            | Value          |
| ------------------- | -------------- |
| **System Type**     | Meters         |
| **Communication**   | REST + Webhook |
| **Collection**      | Pull           |
| **Collection Mode** | SNAPSHOT       |

## Supported Capabilities

* Discover Devices & Points
* Collect Sensor Data
* Receive Webhook Data

## Prerequisites

* An active account with MeterConnex and access to their API or developer portal
* Username and password credentials for the MeterConnex system
* KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources

## Configure Webhook

This integration uses webhooks for real-time data delivery. After creating the connector in KODE OS:

1. Copy the webhook URL provided on the connector detail page
2. In the MeterConnex platform, navigate to the webhook or notification settings
3. Add a new webhook endpoint using the KODE OS URL
4. Configure the authentication header as specified on the connector detail page
5. Save and enable the webhook

## Configure Connector in KODE OS

1. Navigate to **Data Sources** in your building
2. Click **API Catalog** and search for **MeterConnex**
3. Click **+ Add Datasource**
4. Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow

| Field               | Required | Type     | Description                                              |
| ------------------- | -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Room**            | No       | text     | The specific room this connector is associated with      |
| **URL**             | Yes      | text     | The base URL or IP address of the external system        |
| **Username**        | Yes      | text     | The username for authenticating with the external system |
| **Password**        | Yes      | password | The password for authenticating with the external system |
| **API Building ID** | Yes      | password | The building or source identifier in the external system |

## Discover Devices and Points

After configuring the connector, click **Discover** on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the MeterConnex 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](/products/integrations/capabilities/discovery).

## Devices and Points

When you discover devices from MeterConnex, KODE OS maps them to the following device types:

* **Electric Meter** (`electricMeter`)
* **Water Meter** (`waterMeter`)
* **Gas Meter** (`gasMeter`)
* **Steam Meter** (`steamMeter`)
* **Energy Meter** (`energyMeter`)

| Point                     | Display Name            |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `value`                   | value                   |
| `calculatedIntervalValue` | calculatedIntervalValue |
| `cumulativeValue`         | cumulativeValue         |
| `powerFactor`             | powerFactor             |
| `Heating`                 | Heating                 |
| `Cooling`                 | Cooling                 |
| `Water`                   | Water                   |
| `Gas`                     | Gas                     |
| `Hot Water`               | Hot Water               |
| `Cold Water`              | Cold Water              |
| `Chilled Water`           | Chilled Water           |
| `Steam`                   | Steam                   |
| `pf`                      | pf                      |

## 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 sensors

### Polling Schedule

* **Point History**

For more details on collection modes, see the [Data Collection guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/data-collection).

## Use Cases

Once connected, this integration enables you to:

* Aggregate utility consumption data (electricity, gas, water, steam) in a unified dashboard
* Detect abnormal consumption patterns and potential waste or leaks
* Generate utility cost reports and benchmark buildings in your portfolio

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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 MeterConnex system.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Webhook data not arriving">
    Verify the webhook URL is correctly registered in the MeterConnex platform. Check that the authentication header matches the value from the KODE OS connector detail page. Ensure the MeterConnex system can reach the KODE OS webhook endpoint over the network.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Discovery returns no devices">
    Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the MeterConnex system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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 MeterConnex API.
