Connect Nalco to KODE OS for other data integration

​
Overview

Use this integration to connect Nalco water treatment analytics to KODE OS. You discover assets, collect sensor readings, and pull historical water-management data over REST.

​
Supported Capabilities

  • Discover Devices & Points
  • Collect Sensor Data
  • Collect Historical Data

​
Prerequisites

  • An active account with Nalco and access to their API or developer portal
  • OAuth client credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) from the Nalco developer portal
  • KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources

​
Generate API Credentials

  1. Log in to the Nalco developer portal or admin console
  2. Navigate to the API or developer settings section
  3. Create a new API application or client
  4. Note the Client ID and Client Secret — you will need these when configuring the connector in KODE OS
  5. Note the Auth URL for OAuth token exchange

​
Configure Connector in KODE OS

  1. Navigate to Data Sources in your building
  2. Click API Catalog and search for Nalco
  3. Click + Add Datasource
  4. 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 Nalco 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 sensors

​
Polling Schedule

  • Point History — Default polling: 15 minutes (min: 15 minutes, max: 1 hours)
For more details on collection modes, see the Data Collection guide.

​
Use Cases

Once connected, this integration enables you to:
  • Centralize Nalco data in your building operations dashboard
  • Correlate data from this system with other building systems for comprehensive analytics

​
Troubleshooting

Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Ensure the Client ID and Client Secret match the values from the Nalco developer portal.
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Nalco system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
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 Nalco API.
