Adding a connector
Based on configuration, a connection is established between the data engine and the sensor system.
Specify the details of the sensor system connector. You can choose to add either of the following connector types:
• Planon managed connector
The sensor system has a Restful API to which the AWM connector interfaces. This connector is system-specific. In order to update the occupancy information, Planon regularly polls the sensor system for updates.
• Custom managed connector
The connection with the sensor system is handled via Event Connector, a generic gateway between third-party applications and Planon. A great many configuration details (connection, transformation of raw messages into messages) is handled by a Platform app.
• Planon IoT measurement point connector: Planon IoT is used to manage sensor readings from the IoT layer. Because of the integration with the Planon application, the setup is simplified to take the burden off the customer.
AWM can have multiple connectors for different types of sensor systems.
 | Performance-wise, it is worth noting that the number of active measurement points per connector and in total is limited. For more information, see Agile Workplace Management/ Sensor Integration limits. |
Procedure
1. Go to > .
2. On the action menu, click Add.
Select the type of connector that you want to add.
3. Complete the fields in the data section.
For a description of these fields, refer to Connectors - fields / Planon IoT Connector - fields.
4. Click Save.
A new connector is added to AWM. You can now add measurement point definitions to this connector.
