How do I connect Honeywell Niagara (Tridium) or Honeywell Forge to Inbilit?

Honeywell Niagara (based on Tridium JACE/Niagara Framework) and Honeywell Forge are popular BMS platforms. Both offer data export options.

Option 1 — CSV Export from Niagara

Niagara can export historical trend data as CSV files:

1. In Niagara Workbench or Web UI, go to the history section for your meters
2. Export trend data as CSV (select date range, meters, and interval)
3. If your Niagara instance supports scheduled exports, set up automatic email delivery
4. In Inbilit, use File Upload or Email Import

Option 2 — Niagara API (N4 Web Services)

Niagara 4 has a REST API (Niagara Web Services / NWS):

1. Contact your Honeywell integrator to enable the web services module
2. Get API credentials and the API documentation
3. In Inbilit, use Analytics → Data Import → Instant API Sync
4. Enter the Niagara API base URL and authentication details

Option 3 — Honeywell Forge Cloud API

If your building uses Honeywell Forge (cloud platform):

1. Request API access through your Honeywell account
2. Get the API documentation and credentials
3. In Inbilit, use REST API import

Option 4 — HTTP push from Niagara

Niagara 4 can post data to an external URL:

1. In Inbilit, create a Real-Time Push (Webhook) data source and note the URL and secret
2. Configure Niagara to POST meter readings to that URL on a schedule
3. If your integrator only offers the MQTT module, add a bridge that subscribes to the topic and POSTs to the same URL

What to ask your Honeywell/Tridium integrator: "Can you export scheduled CSV files of meter trend data from Niagara, or enable the web services API so we can pull data automatically?"
