EcoStruxure™ Smart Connector

An extensible Windows service framework for integrating building automation systems with third-party applications using EcoStruxure™ Web Services (EWS).

Smart Connector lets developers write Processors (scheduled tasks) and REST endpoints that bridge Schneider Electric systems with external data sources — weather APIs, energy analytics, IoT platforms, and more.

Framework	.NET Framework 4.8 · C#
Runtime	Windows Service
Protocols	EWS SOAP 1.1/1.2 · REST/JSON · Syslog
Current SDK	v2.6

Documentation

Guide	Description
Developer Guide	Architecture, Quick Start, Extension development, full SDK reference
RESTful EWS Gateway	REST API reference for building automation data (values, alarms, trends, subscriptions)
Migration Guide	Upgrading to SDK v2.6 — breaking changes, NuGet feed migration, new features
How-To Guides	Task-oriented recipes: bulk writes, cron scheduling, REST auth, syslog, trend logs with backfill, safe scheduled processors, and more

Quick Start

Time to first build: ~10 minutes

1. Configure the NuGet feed — add the GitHub Packages source for SchneiderElectricBuildings:

   dotnet nuget add source "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/SchneiderElectricBuildings/index.json" `
     --name "SmartConnector" --username YOUR_USERNAME --password YOUR_PAT

   Your PAT needs read:packages scope only. See the full instructions.

2. Create a class library targeting .NET Framework 4.8.

3. Add NuGet packages: Mongoose.Process (provides the Processor base class), Mongoose.Ews.Server.Data (provides EwsServerDataAdapter), and SxL.Common (provides Logger).

4. Write a Processor — see the Quick Start walkthrough or the sample project.

5. Deploy the compiled DLL to the Smart Connector Extensions folder and configure via the Portal.

Examples

Project	Description
QuickStart.HelloEws	Minimal Processor that writes a UTC timestamp to an EWS ValueItem
SmartConnector.WeatherExtension	The Developer Guide "Develop an Extension" walkthrough, fully implemented — fetches current conditions and a 3-day forecast from OpenWeatherMap and demonstrates self-provisioning, per-cycle trend sampling, a phased cycle, and a re-entrancy guard
SmartConnector.GridStatusExtension	Full reference extension — fetches North American grid signals (prices, load, fuel mix, carbon) and demonstrates self-provisioning, trend logs with backfill, a phased update cycle, and a re-entrancy guard
SmartConnector.EntsoeExtension	Full reference extension — fetches European energy-market data (prices, load, generation) with multi-zone support, using the same production patterns as the Grid Status example
