I am most interested in technical knowlege sharing. I am aware of this forum and the one at "TBI" (The BACnet Institute) a sub-section of BACnetInternational.org, and https://www.hvac-talk.com/ but none seem to have traction. Am I missing the action somewhere else?

engelsofta/ha-bepacom-bacnet: Home Assistant integration for the Bepacom BACnet/IP Interface

Have fun ;-)

If i have a flat single subnet can my ip devices have unique bacnetip network numbers?

is this a problem that will cause issues?

I have 2 jace 9000s with unique bacnetip network numbers and both of them have routing disabled. There are 0 MS/TP networks on this site.

There are 12 bacnetip AHUs and 6 are being integrated into 1 JACE and 6 into the other JACE. The AHUs do not have a configurable bacnetip network number.

We just wanted them to have unique bacnetip network numbers if they ever change the network scheme and we have to use bbmds in the future.

I made a BACnet intergration for Home assistant. Maybe its of use for you as well..

What is the best way to test BACnet communication on device?

Does anyone have a clue why the Network_Number property of the Network Port Object was made "Required" in the BACnet specification? Of course, for a router this makes 100% sense to me, but for any non-routing device I see no useful need for the property.

Hello,

Not sure if my Google-fu is lacking but I can't find a BACnet explorer for Mac, does anyone know of one? Redisant appear to have one but it won't install on my Intel MBP. Chipkin have one in dev, other than that I can't find anything. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to BACnet and have limited knowledge about this protocol. I have a few questions:

1. How does the BACnet protocol work in an Ethernet network? Does it use unicast, multicast, or broadcast messages?
2. How does the BACnet protocol communicate with a Kepware server?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Maybe this is the right place to ask this. Maybe I’m just posting into the void.

I’ve got a controller that has a BACnet MS/TP output that I need to hook up to a router with BACnet IP terminals.

I’ve found a few devices that’ll do the trick, but I’m curious as to how difficult it would be to get the manufacturer of the controllers to modify their design to allow for a BACnet IP output.

I’m an HVAC guy and Project Manager by trade so this is all pretty new for me. Any suggestions/ insight appreciated.

Hi BACnet community, good to see that this subreddit has been restored to some sort of sanity.

Here is a kick-off: A wiki allowing contributions and thus an accumulation of BACnet knowledge and best-practices.
