This repository contains simple Python bindings for the Steve Karg's bacnet-stack; in particular, it supports the use of the ReadProperty, WriteProperty, and Who-Is BACnet services.
In order to build the python support, you must first build the BACnet c library. Download bacnet-stack-0.6 from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacnet/files/bacnet-stack/bacnet-stack-0.6.0/ and place it in src/. We recommend using version 0.6.0; later versions may work too. Build that source for your platform (on OSX, make sure you do everything with CC=gcc; none of this works wtih LLVM).
After that, you should be able to do the usual python setup.py build in order to swig and compile the python module.
To use the sMAP driver, you first need to discover the points on your
subnet. the bacnet-scan tool will help you with that. Run with
no arguments, it will dump a list of all devices, as well as all
objects present in each device to the output file as a json data structure.
You can then use the pybacnet.driver.BACnetDriver module to poll
your BACnet points and send data to a sMAP server. The driver contains several options for cleaning up BACnet names.
