# Bosch AQ

> Connect Bosch AQ to KODE OS for outdoor environmental quality data

> Connect Bosch AQ to KODE OS for outdoor environmental quality data integration

## Overview

Use this integration to connect Bosch outdoor air quality monitors to KODE OS. You discover stations and collect historical pollutant and environmental readings over REST.

| Property            | Value                         |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **System Type**     | Outdoor Environmental Quality |
| **Communication**   | REST                          |
| **Collection**      | Pull                          |
| **Collection Mode** | HISTORICAL                    |

## Supported Capabilities

* Discover Devices & Points
* Collect Sensor Data

## Prerequisites

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

## Configure Connector in KODE OS

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

| Field          | Required | Type     | Description                                              |
| -------------- | -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **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 |
| **Project ID** | Yes      | password | The project 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 Bosch AQ 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 Bosch AQ, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:

### Air Quality Sensor

Canonical Type: `airQuality`

| # | Point        | Description | Unit | Writable | Ontology Field                | Collection |
| - | ------------ | ----------- | ---- | -------- | ----------------------------- | ---------- |
| 1 | `Wind_speed` | Wind speed  | --   | No       | `wind_linear_velocity_sensor` | Polling    |

## What Data You Get

### Point History

Time-series readings including Wind\_speed, collected at regular intervals from connected devices

### Polling Schedule

* **Point History** -- Default polling: 1 hours (min: 1 hours, max: 1 hours)

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:

* Centralize Bosch AQ data in your building operations dashboard
* Correlate data from this system with other building systems for comprehensive analytics

## 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 Bosch AQ system.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Discovery returns no devices">
    Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Bosch AQ 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 Bosch AQ API.
