If you have any great ideas of features that in your opinon should be added to the BACnet Specification, contribute them here.
Here are some starters:
| Title | Descriptions | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Align Version with BTL records | There is no formalized link between the Application Version and Firmware Revision and the BTL certificate | ? |
| ReadRangeArray service | Using starting index and count | |
| Create the concept of a “BACnet Clock” that can be placed “Out of Service” so that time and date can be manipulated easily for testing both Time Synch and e.g. Logging, calendars, schedules without disrupting the OS clock. | ||
| BACnet over BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy / Bluetooth 5.1++) - not for the field network side, but for smartphones and laptops running native BACnet clients to use the bluetooth datalink that ALL smartphones and laptops have nowadays. | ||
| Add DST/Timezone to the (local) TimeSync services (perhaps a new one). Doing a local time synch without these parameters is pretty much a disaster (those parameters have to be written individually, cannot be broadcast etc. etc.) | ||
| Adding ‘max message rate’ to COVs | ||
| Wildcards in “WhoHas” Object Name. e.g. who-has “Room * SP” |
