# Niagara

The Niagara integration in Eliona enables seamless connection of your Tridium Niagara framework for building automation. Thanks to this bidirectional communication, you can synchronize control logic, sensor data, and alarms and visualize, analyze, and automate them in Eliona.

The main advantage is automatic synchronization: once you have set up the connection, assets, asset types, and their structure are automatically created and updated in Eliona, completely without manual configuration.

## **Installation and Connection**

Setting up the Niagara integration is straightforward and completed in just a few steps:

1. Install Niagara module: The module is simply downloaded from the Eliona App Store and copied to your Niagara system. A separate license for the module is also required.
2. Generate API key in Eliona: To establish the connection, an API key must be created in Eliona. This key is used for authentication.

After installation, synchronization runs automatically. This means your data, controls, and alarms from Niagara are available directly in Eliona and can be used for dashboards, analyses, and automations.

For a detailed, step-by-step guide to installing the module and configuring it in Eliona, please refer to the full documentation in the "Niagara" chapter.
