Motion.cloud Integration

This integration pulls Motion.cloud inventory and telemetry into Resplendent Data for dashboards and reporting.

What you can sync:

• Apps: Motion.cloud apps with their groups, tiles, and configuration
• Hubs: Hub metadata including type, timezone, and network details
• Devices: Devices with Modbus points, IP addresses, and configuration
• Tiles: Tile definitions with units, multipliers, asset names, and metric mappings
• Current Tile Values: Latest readings from value-bearing tiles
• Historical Tile Values: Time-series history of tile readings

Prerequisites

You’ll need:

1. Motion.cloud account with an active username and password
2. API access to https://api.motion.cloud (the default endpoint)

Note

If your organization uses a custom Motion.cloud API host, you can specify it during setup. Only api.motion.cloud hosts are supported.

Setup instructions

Step 1: Open the integration form

1. Go to Settings → Integrations
2. Find Motion.cloud and click Connect

Step 2: Enter your credentials

Fill in the connection form:

1. Motion Username — Your Motion.cloud login username
2. Motion Password — Your Motion.cloud login password
3. API Base URL — Defaults to https://api.motion.cloud. Change this only if your account uses a different supported host.

Click Save and Test. If the credentials are valid, the status shows as connected.

Available datasets

Dataset	Description	Sync type
Apps	Motion.cloud apps with tile groups and config	Full sync
Hubs	Hub metadata, timezone, and network info	Full sync
Devices	Devices with Modbus points and IP details	Full sync
Tiles	Tile definitions, units, and asset mappings	Full sync
Current Tile Values	Latest readings from value-bearing tiles	Incremental
Historical Tile Values	Time-series history of tile readings	Incremental

Note

Current Tile Values and Historical Tile Values only include tiles that carry data. Folder, header, image, super-folder, and text tiles are excluded.

Sync behavior and refresh rates

Dataset	Default frequency	Fastest allowed
Apps	24 hours	60 minutes
Hubs	24 hours	60 minutes
Devices	24 hours	60 minutes
Tiles	24 hours	60 minutes
Current Tile Values	15 minutes	5 minutes
Historical Tile Values	60 minutes	15 minutes

The actual sync frequency is the greater of your tier’s refresh rate and the dataset’s default frequency. For example, on the Free Forever tier (60-minute refresh), Current Tile Values sync every 60 minutes, not every 15 minutes.

Historical data options

When you create a Historical Tile Values dataset, you can configure:

• History days — How many days of history to pull. Defaults to 31, maximum is 366.
• History interval — The downsample interval for historical data. Defaults to 1h. Options include none (raw data), 5m, 15m, 1h, 1d, or similar.

Tip

Use none for raw data (up to 2,500 points per tile per request) or an interval like 1h for downsampled data (up to 200 points per request). Raw data is useful for detailed analysis; downsampled data keeps sync times shorter.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication failed: Check that your Motion.cloud username and password are correct. The integration uses Basic authentication with these credentials.
• Connection test fails: Verify the API Base URL is https://api.motion.cloud or another supported host. The URL must use HTTPS and cannot include a path.
• No tile values appearing: Confirm that your Motion.cloud account has tiles with data-bearing types. Folder, header, image, super-folder, and text tiles do not return values.
• Historical sync is slow: Large history ranges with many tiles take longer. Reduce the history days or use a downsampled interval like 1h instead of none.
