Siemens Building X

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync Siemens Building X building, device, point, and alarm data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Siemens Building X connector syncs your building management and IoT data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull buildings, devices, points, and alarms from the Building X Openness API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Buildings
  • Devices
  • Points
  • Alarms

How it gets built

  1. Choose Siemens Building X when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Siemens Building X's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Siemens Building X itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

OAuth 2.0 (client credentials). Create a Machine User in the Building X API Manager, scoped to the APIs you need, then exchange its client ID/secret for a bearer token.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Siemens Building X connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Siemens Building X's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Siemens Building X data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Siemens Building X API documentation: https://developer.siemens.com/building-x-openness/overview.html

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for SaaS teams: Asana, Jira, Airtable, Clockify, Facebook Ads, Frankfurter.
