VARIABLE CATALOG
Data sources
Organize normalized variables by what they mean, independently from where they come from.
Sensor families
- Climate, air quality, occupancy and lighting
- Energy, water, acoustics and equipment
- Security and custom bounded metrics
Version 1.0 adapters
- Manual variables — live immediately.
- Home Assistant — active read-only connector for selected compatible entities.
Deferred adapters
HTTP JSON, MQTT, Node-RED, LorisIoT and InfluxDB remain documented extension points. Version 1.0 does not present them as active connectors.

Good to know
Tokens, passwords and authorization headers belong in Keychain. They never enter the catalog, configuration sync or DisplaySnapshot.
