Updating Entity Properties for Points

Selecting an Entity Property to associate with a Point

Points can be enhanced by adding Entity Properties to them. Entity Properties are BRICK objects that enable metadata to be added the model entities. The set of legal Entity Properties is exposed by the building management service.

You can find the set of legal entity properties using this endpoint:

https://dataclearinghouse.org/api/mv/v1/swagger#/Schema/get_schema_entityproperties

Once you identify a property you're interested in, you can determine the appropriate format for creating a point (in JSON) by requesting a JSON Schema document via this endpoint: https://dataclearinghouse.org/api/mv/v1/swagger#/Schema/get_schema_entityproperties__entityPropertyId_

DCH's point API accepts Entity Properties with the domain of 'Point', that are represented via a JSON document that matches the form specified in the schema exposed by DCH's building management service.

Finally, to update the Entity Property of Points you have to use the Point Classifier UI.
