Documented steps

  1. Locate the equipment instance by walking GET {base}/equipment/tree (Metasys 15.0+) or from a space via GET {base}/spaces/{spaceId}/servingEquipment.
  2. GET {base}/equipment/{equipmentId}/points to list that equipment's points. Page with page and pageSize; sort accepts shortName, -shortName, category, -category, isDisplayData, -isDisplayData (default shortName).
  3. For each item read: id, itemReference, equipmentName, shortName, label, category, isDisplayData, equipmentUrl, objectUrl, and attribute (a value from attributeEnumSet). On Metasys 15.0+ each item also carries objectReference, the underlying object's FQR.
  4. Understand the model: an equipment point is a mapping from a semantic point name to a specific attribute on a specific object. shortName is the semantic name (e.g. a zone temperature); objectUrl plus attribute is where the live value actually lives.
  5. Read the value by following objectUrl and appending /attributes/{attribute}, or by resolving objectReference through GET /objects/identifiers?fqr=.
  6. Filter to operator-facing points using isDisplayData when you want the same subset the Metasys UI shows rather than every mapped attribute.
  7. Go the other direction with GET {base}/objects/{objectId}/points, which lists the equipment points mapped to attributes of a given object. Its sort enum additionally includes equipmentName and -equipmentName.
  8. Use GET {base}/equipment/{equipmentId}/spaces to tie equipment back to the spaces it serves for reporting.
