[thing-it-node] Device Plugin for BACnet networks to control BACnet devices.
The BACnet Device Plugin is operational for the scope described here which represents a subset of the full BACnet protocol plus [thing-it] specific usages, such as higher level compelx devices. Contact us if you're interested in connecting [thing-it] to your BACnet environment and / or supporting additional BACnet features, devices, or objects.
This Device Plugin allows you to
by connecting an arbitrary number of BACnet devices to a thing-it-node on the same network. thing-it-node can be run on a variety of computers incuding Raspberry Pis and Linux server.
Hereby, this plugin represents basic BACnet Objects such as
connected to a generic BACnet Device and communication to those via UDP/IP.
The plugin also supports specific higher level devices, such as
by bundling a series of individual BACnet objects into a logical context.
In a dashboard data from a BACnet device, such as
can be combined with thing-it-device-weather data, such as
Contact us if you're interested in connecting to your BACnet environment via mobile or web.
Those who are interested in implementing their own specific higher level BACnet Device e.g. a thermostat with specific state, services and UI from a [thing-it-node] perspective can still use the BacNetAdapter class under lib in this package to easily implement communication with the BACnet network via IP/UDP.
Contact us if you're interested in helping us support additional BACnet features, devices, or objects.
Follow the installation steps at thing-it-node to turn your computer (e.g. your PC, your Raspberry Pi, or a Linux server) into a [thing-it] Gateway. Installing thing-it-node automatically also installs the BACnet plugin.
After installation follow the instructions to pair your [thing-it] Gateway with www.thing-it.com and to start the [thing-it-node]. Use the configuration portal at www.thing-it.com to confirm your [thing-it] Gateway is properly connected.
Make sure that the computer running [thing-it-node] (your [thing-it] Gateway) can connect your BACnet devices via an IP connection. As the BACnet protocol uses UPD broadcasts for an initial WhoIs / IAm handshake your BACnet devices and your [thing-it] Gateway should be on the same network to simplify the setup.
If your BACnet devices and your [thing-it] Gateway are not in the same network, additional network configuration and/or hardware may be required to ensure broadcasts from the BACnet devices can be seen by the [thing-it] Gateway and vice versa.
Use the configuration portal at www.thing-it.com to create a BACnet device. You need to know either
of the device to connect with it. Once your device is connected, you can add actors for BACnet objects or complex higher level objects in the configuration as shown in the UI examples above.
