Connect Avuity to KODE OS for occupancy, indoor environmental quality data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Avuity to KODE OS. You can discover space and sensor assets, then pull snapshot occupancy alongside indoor environmental quality points so workplace utilization and comfort signals stay aligned in one model.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- An active account with Avuity and access to their API or developer portal
- API key or token from the Avuity platform
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Generate API Credentials
- Log in to the Avuity 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 Avuity
- 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 Avuity 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 Avuity, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Presence / Occupancy Sensor
Canonical Type:presenceDetection
Air Quality Sensor
Canonical Type:airQuality
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including occupancy, capacity, isActive, temperature, humidity, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 5 minutes (min: 5 minutes, max: 1 hours)
Use Cases
Once connected, this integration enables you to:- Track real-time space utilization rates across floors and zones
- Optimize HVAC and lighting schedules based on actual occupancy patterns
- Generate utilization reports to inform space planning and real estate decisions
- Monitor air quality metrics (CO2, VOC, humidity, temperature) across all occupied spaces
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 Avuity platform.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Avuity 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 Avuity API.
