Introduction

The real-time connectors are a set of components which enables Niagara stations to exchange data in real-time to external services (Cloud IoT Platforms, Databases, APIs... ).

There are many features available through the real-time connectors. A third party can:

• Read / Write points
• Read / Write schedules
• Read / Acknowledge alarms
• Read historical data on demand

Some advantages:

• It doesn't require any additional points in Tridium's license.
• It works seamlessly for reading and writing (no other extension to add)
• DeviceExt and PointExt can be deployed easily on a Niagara station using Program Service or Macros
• Payload (content of a message) can be easily personalized
