Hey all,
I would like to announce and invite you to test a new version of BACnet binding. This binding works with openHAB v2 and finally offers a first class discovery. Sources are available at github, bacnet part is licensed under GPL3.
Among new features there is support for new object types (but still without valid support for Schedule…); very early, very experimental support for BACnet/MSTP. If hardware you run openHAB onto is capable of handling RS485 inputs you now can try to talk directly to device over serial interface. Be aware that end device should support segmentation.
Installation
Download kar, copy it to addons folder and look for openhab-binding-bacnet
.
As of beginning of September 2023 binding downloads are temporary suspended due to update of connectorio.com. Addon will be brought back through third party marketplace.
Binary builds are available with no costs. Binding for openHAB 2.5 is supposed to receive less effort over time. There are no license keys. Binding yo get have no data-point limit. You simply get an archive which you can install multiple times on any number of devices.
You can use provided binaries for commercial deployments. Its open source. Do your own tests. If it works then its up to you if you want to pay for it (we can invoice). We collect cash to get real hardware, pay for further services, compensate our efforts and simply keep things up and running in a proper state.
Downloads: BACnet binding for openHAB 3.x, BACnet 2.x binding. Installation manual in pdf format.
