# Parking Logix - Parking Sensor Integration

<p class="callout info">This article outlines how to configure and enable the **Parking Logix** integration within OPS-COM, allowing administrators to sync parking sensor data for real-time monitoring and display. This feature is intended for OPS-COM administrators responsible for system configuration and user-facing parking maps.</p>

## Setup and Configuration

Follow these steps to integrate **Parking Logix** sensors with your OPS-COM system.

### Enable Parking Logix Integration

1. Navigate to **System Settings**.
2. Select **Third Party** settings.
3. Enable the **Parking Logix Integration** checkbox.

### Adding the Lot Group

1. Create a new lot group for each lot where you are collecting sensor data.
2. Enter the required **API code** when configuring each group.
    
    
    - Note: It is possible, though unlikely, to have multiple **API keys** if lot access is split across several keys.
3. Navigate to the **Lot Administration** tool.
4. Open the **LPR Settings Tab** for the desired lot.
5. Assign the previously created lot group to the lot.

### Enable the System Task

1. Contact OPS-COM support by emailing **support@ops-com.com** to enable the required system task for sensor communication.
2. Once the system task is active, verify the integration by navigating to **Manage Parking Lot Groups** to confirm that lot counts are updating correctly.

## Displaying the Map on the User Side

To display the parking map to end users, you must insert the integration short code into your site pages.

1. Navigate to **System Messaging**.
2. Edit the desired page where the map should appear.
3. Enter the short code **\[parking\_logix\]** into the page content.
    
    
    - You may add parameters such as **only**, **show**, **filter**, or **name** to the short code to restrict the list to specific lots.

## <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">Best Practices and Considerations</span>

- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Data Accuracy:** Ensure that every lot intended for display is correctly linked to a lot group containing a valid **API key**, otherwise, the lot will not appear on the user-facing map.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Support Coordination:** Because the system task must be enabled by the OPS-COM integration team, initiate your support request early in your setup process to avoid delays in data synchronization.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">**Parameter Usage:** Use the filtering parameters within the **\[parking\_logix\]** short code to provide users with a clean, relevant view of specific parking areas rather than the entire system inventory.</span>
