Logo : {{:suppliers:hvac.io:wacnet:wacnet-logo.png?150|}}

[[https://hvac.io/docs/wacnet|Wacnet]] is a BACnet explorer, webserver, and toolkit.

It works with all BACnet/IP networks and doesn't require any installation.

It is used by hundreds of professionals in the field.

{{:suppliers:hvac.io:wacnet:wacnet-explorer.png?400|}}

===== Requirements =====

  * Java 8
  * BACnet/IP network

===== Running the Software =====

Wacnet can be started by double-clicking on the .jar file, or by using this command:

<code>
java -jar wacnet-standalone-<VERSION>.jar
</code>

===== Source =====

Wacnet is open source software under the GPLv3.

The source can be found at this link: https://github.com/Frozenlock/wacnet


===== Scripts =====

The REPL can be used to send custom commands on the network.
Here are a few examples and custom scripts.

Check the bacure [[http://frozenlock.github.io/bacure/index.html|documentation]] to see the functions that are available to you.

==== Find devices ====

Send WhoIs broadcast for a single device at a time.
Use this if you can't seem to get a response from every device on your network.

<code clojure>
(defn find-devices
  "For the entire IDs range, send WhoIs broadcasts with a single
  device as a target. Useful to get an answer from particular devices
  when the network is congested." 
  [start-id end-id]
  (let [ids (range start-id (inc end-id))]
    (doseq [id ids]
      (find-remote-device id)
      (Thread/sleep 200))))
      ;; example to find devices 100 to 200 : (find-devices 100 200)
</code>

See the associated [[http://blog.hvac.io/2015/01/11/network-discovery-with-devices-ignoring-whois/|blog post]].

==== Network Profiling / Devices Inventory ====

This script will export a text file of the following form:

===== API =====

Most of the BACnet data visible from Wacnet can be retrieved using the API.
