Custom Integrations

Connecting your systems through API and I/O devices for unified building automation and enhanced functionality

Seamless System Integration

Modern buildings rely on multiple independent systems that work better together. Endex of Oklahoma specializes in creating custom integrations between fire alarm, nurse call, security, communication, and building automation systems using API connections and hardware I/O devices.

API Integrations

Software-based integrations allow systems to share data and trigger actions automatically. We develop custom API connections that enable real-time communication between platforms.

  • REST & Web Services Connect cloud platforms and on-premise systems through standard web APIs
  • Database Integration Synchronize data between systems for unified reporting and management
  • Event-Driven Automation Trigger actions across systems based on alarms, schedules, or user input
  • Custom Middleware Bridge incompatible systems with custom translation layers

Hardware I/O Integration

When systems lack software interfaces, hardware I/O devices provide reliable physical connections. Relay contacts, voltage signals, and serial communications enable integration between legacy and modern equipment.

  • Relay Interfaces Dry contact connections for alarm notification, door control, and equipment activation
  • Input Monitoring Monitor contact closures, voltage levels, and sensor outputs from external systems
  • Serial & Network Gateways Convert RS-232, RS-485, and proprietary protocols to IP-based communication
  • I/O Controllers Programmable devices that bridge multiple systems with custom logic

Common Integration Scenarios

  • Fire Alarm to Access Control - Unlock doors automatically during fire events
  • Nurse Call to Paging - Broadcast patient calls to overhead speakers
  • Security to Lighting - Activate lights on motion detection or alarm
  • Intercom to Phone System - Route door calls to desk phones and mobile apps
  • HVAC to Fire Alarm - Shut down air handlers during smoke detection
  • Camera to Access Control - Trigger recording on door access events

Benefits of Integration

  • Unified Response - Coordinate actions across systems during emergencies
  • Reduced Manual Effort - Automate repetitive tasks and notifications
  • Centralized Management - Monitor multiple systems from a single interface
  • Extended System Life - Add new capabilities to existing equipment
  • Improved Reporting - Combine data from multiple sources for insights
  • Code Compliance - Meet requirements for system interconnection

Our Integration Process

Every integration project begins with understanding your goals and assessing your existing systems. We document available interfaces, identify the best connection method, and design a solution that meets your requirements while maintaining system reliability.

  • System assessment and interface inventory
  • Integration design and documentation
  • Development and bench testing
  • On-site installation and commissioning
  • Training and ongoing support
