I’m tired of the restrictions placed on BACnet by the major TC vendors supplying building automation technology. The way some BAS contractors have implemented building BAS systems they purposefully hide BACnet from outside third parties. It’s also important to note that not all BAS vendors use BACnet too. However, my experience is that those that do use BACnet at their frontend products (JACE) are required to purchase a license that opens access to BACnet data. (Yes, I know building automation is not the usual place to discuss this topic.)
So I’m thinking of screen scraping existing BAS web content for real-time data. (I realize this effort might not be of much interest to those working with a few BACnet devices.)
Any interest?
