What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including new_entries, new_exits, space_capacity, space_availability, occupancy_ratio, occupancy_ratio_avg, occupancy_ratio_max, occupancy_ratio_min, and 7 more, 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
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 Ensure the API key or token is valid and has not been revoked or expired in the Enlighted People Counting platform.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Enlighted People Counting 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 Enlighted People Counting API.
