A BACnet protocol stack written in pure JavaScript. BACnet is a protocol to interact with building automation devices defined by ASHRAE.
Note: This is an early prototype and shall not be considered as stable. Use it with caution and at your own risk!
Add Node BACstack to your project by using:
npm install --save bacstackThe API documentation is available under fh1ch.github.io/node-bacstack.
The BACNET standard defines a wide variety of services as part of it's specification. While Node BACstack tries to be as complete as possible, following services are already supported at this point in time:
| Service | Execute | Handle |
|---|---|---|
| Who Is / I Am | yes | yes¹ |
| Who Has / I Have | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Time Sync | yes | yes¹ |
| UTC Time Sync | yes | yes¹ |
| Read Property | yes | yes¹ |
| Read Property Multiple | yes | yes¹ |
| Read Range | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Write Property | yes | yes¹ |
| Write Property Multiple | yes | yes¹ |
| Add List Element | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Remove List Element | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Create Object | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Delete Object | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Subscribe COV | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Subscribe Property | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Atomic Read File | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Atomic Write File | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Reinitialize Device | yes | yes¹ |
| Device Communication Control | yes | yes¹ |
| Get Alarm Summary | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Get Event Information | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Get Enrollment Summary | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Acknowledge Alarm | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Confirmed Event Notification | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Unconfirmed Event Notification | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Unconfirmed Private Transfer | yes¹ | yes¹ |
| Confirmed Private Transfer | yes¹ | yes¹ |
¹ Support implemented as Beta (untested, undocumented, breaking interface)
const bacnet = require('bacstack');
// Initialize BACStack
const client = new bacnet({adpuTimeout: 6000});
// Discover Devices
client.on('iAm', (device) => {
console.log('address: ', device.address);
console.log('deviceId: ', device.deviceId);
console.log('maxAdpu: ', device.maxAdpu);
console.log('segmentation: ', device.segmentation);
console.log('vendorId: ', device.vendorId);
});
client.whoIs();
// Read Device Object
const requestArray = [{
objectId: {type: 8, instance: 4194303},
properties: [{id: 8}]
}];
client.readPropertyMultiple('192.168.1.43', requestArray, (err, value) => {
console.log('value: ', value);
});Implementing and maintaining a protocol stack is a lot of work, therefore any help is appreciated, from creating issues, to contributing documentation, fixing issues and adding new features.
