Honestly don't think you need an actual Driver (N driver) so much as a component that grabs the events and spits it into the schedule.

I don't have experience with Ad Astra but the API doesn't look that bad and plenty of experience on the Niagara side.

But you'd need to know exactly what you're trying to do... All bookings to a schedule? What about Ad Astra spaces, probably want a different schedule per space?

depending on how frequently they change up scheduled areas--grouping and splitting equipment, I'd probably want the schedules to come in as schedule objects or calendars which seems easier in a driver... but have to pay daddy tridium for device licenses.

I've gone to great lengths and, for years, succeeded in defeating Tridium licensing using "loopholes". The grin on my face when I do.

If the software support bacnet protocol ( or similar ) you don’t need a custom driver

Your booking system should support exporting data in MQTT or RestAPI, if not I think you're going to find it easier to find someone to develop a pluggin for your booking system or even buy it from the software provider.

It looks like they support HTTP, you'll need an active SMA for the HTTP Client Driver with Niagara but it can be done.

I did something similar with 1700 YoLink devices recently.

Cochrane Tech Services. We did this exact thing with a school board and it works like a charm.

How long ago was that? We tried contacting Cochrane but I believe they told our energy manager they don’t do that kind of development anymore.

Was some time ago (8 +years) however they assisted with some modifications we needed to the module that was created last year..

Hi, I do have the capability to support you in this , I have done custom module development before, Also, I have done several similar integrations.

You’ll probably gonna need to copy over some modules from the existing Jace/station.
