Describe the bug
Discovery works fine but it cannot save due to config file not existing to begin with. Had to manually place and empty file in the directory to be able to save.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Running on Windows.
2. No Docker container. Just node-red.
3. Import Read-Discover example.
4. Trigger discovery.
5. Errors visible in Node-red console or log file.
   Store_Config writeAccess error found: [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access 'C:\Users\NAME\Documents\sandbox\edge-bacnet-datastore.cfg'] {
   errno: -4058,
   code: 'ENOENT',
   syscall: 'access',
   path: 'C:\Users\NAME\Documents\sandbox\edge-bacnet-datastore.cfg'

Expected behavior
Should create file if not exists. At least in Windows, fs.access(W_OK) returns error if file not there.

Screenshots
This shows discovery works.

Hello,
I've noticed that object names with ‘-’ or ‘’ are replaced by ‘’. Is this due to the bacnet standard? I would like to be able to name my objects with these characters. How can I do this?
Best regards

Hi,

While testing the flow following the youtube tutorial, the read function no longer works properly after restart of the node-red.

The gateway is finding my devices

but the read function is empty, even though it says 2 devices found

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
I'm currently testing it on Win10 virtual machine before implementing it on an edge device. After the issue occur I tried it on freshly installed node-red on my local machine, but there it cannot even find the devices.

Hi guys,
The MAX_PRES_VALUE and MIN_PRES_VALUE variables in objects in is not working.
Do you think it will possible for you to fix it if you have time ^^ ?
I don't know if this data is used very much :)
Sincerly,
Simon

Just wondering if it is possible to add devices manually to the gateway?

Hello, thank you very much for your tools.
I have a problem when I make the flow by default:

I get this error when I try to access the objects on YABE:

I modified the line :

And on YABE I have no more problems... How can we fix this?

O nó Gateway não apresenta as Network Interface.
Alguma solução ?

the Product is very nice..
but it have some bugs i think..
i can read data without problems but it is not possible to write any Data!

and also some crazy stuff happend when i go with the standard settings
from time to time the Devices goes offline and come online, the complete devices are gone and so on...
after a time it was showing me 0 Devices, all devices are gone and come not back...
after i uninstall and install the edge-bacnet new in nodered it found all the devices again...

i think the problem comes when i test to write someting, and writing is not working....
when i was looking with yabe the devices was always perfectly online with no problems
only edge-bacnet have this problem was lost always the connection of devices...

i change now in the Gateway Node some settings in Device Discover Frequency and Object Discover Frequency to a higher value
and now look better > it lost no connections anymore at the moment....

but the biggest problem is it is not possible to write some Values!!

gives here a solution to bring write a value working, or comes a update for this problen in the next time?

Thanks for your nice work

Benny

Describe the bug
After running a poll devices, the system gives errors on most of objects on the device - a total of 13 are imported of the 1554 objects on this device.

For further information this issue may be related to #11 as this system is also on a PXG3.L router, with the device being on a LonTalk network. Three of the other four devices on this router all read perfectly, with one other giving the same issues.

The device being interrogated is a PXC100.D

The other problem device is a PXC12.D with just 53 objects.

However, the other PXC12.D with 198 objects didn't give any errors at all.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Suspect this is device specific, YABE exports available if required.

Expected behavior
Device is added into your brilliant UI and then we can add objects to be read.

Screenshots

This is the error as seen from wireshark.

When the read (eventually) completes, the device we are trying to work on has an exclamation next to it.

In the read or write device list, my BACnet router and MSTP network both show. I am able to hit the "plus" and add the BACnet router points, however the MSTP points cannot be added. I found a work-around that if I click "add all" on the read I will get the data from the read side, however I still cannot remove individual points or add points to write to.

There do not seem to be any log messages associated with clicking the "plus" to add a device.

Hello Bitpool, thanks for this project!

The discovery of my Brötje heatpump went fine. All of the 1321 objects were found. The Read node works fine. I'm still fighting with the Write node and I have currently the same problem as reported in issue #14. This issue doesn't seem to be fixed yet.
Writing from Yabe works fine.

In this context, I'm wondering what the icons mean. All of my data points have a gearwheel icon and all objects have the (R) symbol.
In your videos and documentation, I'm seeing a lot of other icons, though.
Is there any relation between the icons and the read/write properties?

This is what I'm seeing:

I'm running Node-RED on a VM on Proxmox. I didn't use the Docker container.

Why can't Node-RED find the Yabe Room Simulator Device 1507482?

Yabe does find it: (Device 1 is the GTW-21 and Device 420 is the Eco-Panel.)

I have no clue, though, why the Room Simulator appears on Port 63814. I didn't configure it like that (I don't even know how to...).

I tried already to set the Port in the Gateway Node to 63814, but that didn't have any effect - Node-Red can still only find 2 of the three BACnet devices.

Additional context

Hi, I'm trying to use the driver and am having issues discovering devices. Details

• Nodered 3.1.11 running in a container, network is configured for host.
• OS is Ubuntu 20.04.
• I have two network interfaces on the device, both of which are connected to networks. One network is connected to the internet and the other one is connected to an internal network with my bacnet devices.

The device discovers itself but nothing else. I have another software (skyspark) that I also run in a container on that device and it is able to discover the devices (I don't run skyspark and node red at the same time). I've tried setting the network interface to every option but still nothing.

Please let me know what else I can provide.

Describe the bug

First of all, many thanks for an absolutely amazing BACnet tool.

Only one device is listed to add in the read list (there are 7 on a windows install on the same network) - see the error log. I assume the file "edge-bacnet-datastore.cfg" may need creating or permissions changing on the OS.

find . -type f -name "edge-bacnet-datastore.cfg" did not find the file present.

This issue does not happen on a MS windows install.

This is from the windows install

To Reproduce
Inject discovery into gateway

Expected behavior
All 7 devices present in read list.

The Read Node of my flow polls a data point (Algorithm Type) that I had removed from the Read List several deployments ago. Another value in the Read List (varZoneTRoomSetpoint-3_AI_2126) is not getting polled.
Could there be an issue in updating the Read List?

I'm relatively new to the Bacnet protocol but I was wondering if there's a way to do something like this :

with your node, or is specific equipment required?

Firstly, great effort on this, stumbled across this and being able to demo data logging based on Bacnet objects is great!

I am trying to get a setpoint to write and it is not overally clear on how to write a value to the system.

In the inject node I have placed this into poll and given the value I need to change the value for. In this example setting the value to 26

In the write list I have selected the object I would like to write to

and in the properties i have selected unsigned_Int

Every time the value is injected the debug output shows underfined

I have tried adding in the message topic the reference to the object name as you can have more than one object in the write list.

Can you explain who the values are meant to be populated into the write node and if you have more than one object selected how to write to the different objects or if you have to use seprate write nodes for each object you are going to write to.

Thank you again for you work in this.

I'm seeing this error on first install of the node
