Linking real-time sensor data to BIM model

Development Asset Creation
1

Hello,

Sensors have been installed in my office. The devices are connected to ChirpStack. The BIM model of the office has been done in Autodesk Revit and imported in Unreal Engine 5.2 using Datasmith plugin. I am now looking for a solution to link the real-time sensor data to the BIM model. The user should be able to visualize the real-time sensor data when placing cursor on the sensor fixed in rooms of the building.

Thanks to help.

Do not know specificities of your use case but the usual big steps are:

  1. You need to write some C++ plugin that will connect to real-time sensor data. Something to list the different sensor, get status on sensors, get the actual real-time sensor data, and convert all those informations in functions or data structure that you can then use in UE
  2. In UE make a custom blueprint to represent a sensor, that will connect to the corresponding physical sensor using your plugin, and display whatever information you need.
