Connect WiFi Occupancy (IMF) to KODE OS for occupancy data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Wi‑Fi occupancy (IMF) to KODE OS. You can discover the scoped network assets the API exposes, then pull historical connected-device counts across Staffnet and Guest networks to estimate staff versus visitor presence.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- Network access to the WiFi Occupancy (IMF) controller or device
- The IP address and port of the on-site system
- Login credentials for the WiFi Occupancy (IMF) 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 WiFi Occupancy (IMF)
- 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 WiFi Occupancy (IMF) 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 sensorsPolling Schedule
- Point History
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
Cannot connect to controller
Cannot connect to controller
Verify the IP address and port are correct. Ensure the WiFi Occupancy (IMF) 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 WiFi Occupancy (IMF) 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 WiFi Occupancy (IMF) API.
