Connect iCare to KODE OS for wireless sensors data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect iCare wireless industrial sensors to KODE OS. REST and webhooks deliver predictive maintenance readings and device events for monitored equipment.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Receive Webhook Data
Prerequisites
To integrate with the iCare API, ensure you have the following details:- An active account in https://login.icaremillc.com with the appropriate access permissions.
- Valid username and password credentials for the iCare platform.
Generate API Credentials
- Log in to the https://login.icaremillc.com using your username and password
- In the left sidebar, click on API.
- Select API Keys.
- Click the + Generate Key button.
- Copy both the API Key ID and the API Secret Key.
- ⚠️ This is a one-time view — the API Secret Key will not be visible again. If it’s lost, you’ll need to delete the key and generate a new one.
Configure Webhook
- Send Gateway Message: Select Only with sensor messages
- Authentication: Set to None
- Click Save to complete the setup.
Configure Connector in KODE OS
- Navigate to Data Sources in your building
- Click API Catalog and search for iCare
- 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 iCare 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 iCare, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Wireless Sensor
Canonical Type:default
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including signalStrength, batteryLevel, currentReading, voltage, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 2 hours (min: 2 hours, max: 2 hours)
Use Cases
Once connected, this integration enables you to:- Monitor distributed sensor networks for temperature, humidity, motion, and environmental data
- Receive real-time alerts from battery-powered sensors across the facility
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 iCare platform.
Webhook data not arriving
Webhook data not arriving
Verify the webhook URL is correctly registered in the iCare platform. Check that the authentication header matches the value from the KODE OS connector detail page. Ensure the iCare system can reach the KODE OS webhook endpoint over the network.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the iCare 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 iCare API.
