Features
Efficient and Customizable Extensions
The ability to quickly produce high quality, proven applications that can be easily deployed is crucial for success in buildings management projects. These include projects involving integrations to third-party systems and data sources. Smart Connector enables developers and integration teams to quickly and easily write, test and deploy these applications to customer sites by providing:
Developers
-
Tools that are conceived from analyzing many projects and
which recognize the common patterns, to provide useful APIs for Extension writers
(example: built-in EWS v1.2 consume).
System Integrators
-
Control over how Extensions are configured by providing a
Web Management Portal to easily configure Smart Connector Extensions to run
on any customer site.
End users
-
A view into the health of their applications by providing useful
metrics to track how the Smart Connector Processors are running.
Integrated and Customizable EcoStruxure™ Web Services Servers
The most common way to get data from a third-party system, or data source, into StruxureWare Building Operation, is with
EcoStruxure Web Services (EWS). Since StruxureWare Building Operation has native functionality to consume EWS
endpoints, Smart Connector has built integrated and customizable EWS Servers into its core.
These servers can be configured via a processor, or manually, via the Web Management Portal. A single Smart Connector installation can contain multiple separate EWS servers to be consumed by any number of clients for different applications.
Integrated and Customizable REST APIs
Smart Connector provides a complete toolset for developers to create their own RESTful APIs, complete with authentication, throttling and a self-documenting Swagger based interface. Smart Connector includes Extensions that convert standard, SOAP based EWS into “RESTful” EWS.
Licensing
Smart Connector provides the ability to explicitly license Extensions through license files. This allows integration teams to
derive revenue from their Smart Connector Extensions without worrying about how to protect their intellectual property. Smart
Connector Extension licenses are managed by the integration teams who write the Extensions. Only they have access to
distribute these licenses.
Integrated Web Portal
Smart Connector provides a portal that is integrated into the Windows service to allow Smart Connector applications
configuration and monitoring. The Smart Connector portal is responsive and can be used on any device, including PCs and
smartphones.
Status Page
