How-to Guides

Minimal pip install open-fdd workflows (no Docker) live on the engine docs site — Getting started, Column map & resolvers.

MQTT integration (optional) — Mosquitto profile, BACnet2MQTT vs experimental MQTT RPC gateway on diy-bacnet-server; links to upstream docs.
Grafana dashboards (optional) — Optional Grafana; React frontend provides equivalent timeseries and fault views. Datasource and dashboard JSON.
Grafana SQL cookbook — SQL recipes for BACnet, faults, weather, system resources (variables, panels, sparklines).
PyPI releases (open-fdd) — Tags, trusted publishing, local twine check.
The optional openfdd-engine package — openfdd_engine vs open_fdd.engine vs Docker fdd-loop; when to use which install.
Engine-only deployment and external IoT pipelines — --mode engine vs pandas RuleRunner; same YAML on DataFrames.
Data model engineering (Brick + 223P MVP) — Engineering UI, JSON round-trip, s223/ofdd RDF, SPARQL examples, and how that ties to FDD + DB for impact-style analytics.
Cloning and porting — Same tools, any building; checklist for OpenClaw clones on a bench.
OpenClaw subscription setup (Codex OAuth) — ChatGPT subscription path vs API key; stale openai/... cleanup.
Monitor the fake fault schedule — Interpret 180°F spikes on the fake BACnet bench.
