# Niagara

"Niagara" by Tridium is a framework that connects intelligent building technology systems. It is possible to implement data from a Niagara system in Eliona and use it in your Eliona [project ](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference)to use. 

{% hint style="info" %}
To integrate Niagara data into Eliona, the [Eliona driver](https://shop.itec-products.ch/de/tridium/n4-supervisor/treiber/niagara-eliona-treiber) must be installed on your Niagara system. 
{% endhint %}

Niagara provides hardware such as "Controller" and "Listener". The devices can be connected with Eliona. In [settings](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference)>[Apps](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference)>Niagara you can integrate the "Controller" and "Listener" of your Niagara system:

1. First create an [Eliona asset](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference) for the corresponding Niagara listener. Then select this [asset ](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference).&#x20;
2. Enter the certificate, private key, CA certificate, and the listener's port.&#x20;
3. Add a description.&#x20;
4. Finish with <img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/CGQaOyZh2UNRPQgDk770/C558A14C-BEB1-494C-BA54-7B8A8CE0FA02.png" alt="" data-size="line"> to activate the listener.

1. First create an [Eliona asset](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference) for the corresponding Niagara controller. Then select this [asset ](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference)The [asset ](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference)must absolutely be from the [Asset type](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/broken-reference) "system".&#x20;
2. Click on <img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/gOStJBD4Nlt8SwTFz7R1/47D360B6-6B3F-4A77-85A8-A3FFB034787A.png" alt="" data-size="line">, to create a token that identifies the controller. The token must then be entered in Niagara.
3. Enable alarm: Select whether you want to allow alarm routing to Niagara.&#x20;
4. Description: Describe the Niagara controller with any text.
5. Click <img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/SiHFBMsBv772jVMdrdxr/8AA72D38-308E-459D-9B2E-BB5D4124D885.png" alt="" data-size="line">, to add the controller.
