Project description
BACnet Proxy Agent
BACnet Proxy is an agent that supports communication and management of BACnet devices.
Communication with a BACnet device on a network happens via a single virtual BACnet device. In the VOLTTRON driver framework, we use a separate agent specifically for communicating with BACnet devices and managing the virtual BACnet device.
Prerequisites
- Python >=3.8
Python
To install Python 3.8, we recommend using pyenv
.
# install pyenv
git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv ~/.pyenv
# setup pyenv (you should also put these three lines in .bashrc or similar)
export PATH="${HOME}/.pyenv/bin:${PATH}"
export PYENV_ROOT="${HOME}/.pyenv"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
# install Python 3.8
pyenv install 3.8.10
# make it available globally
pyenv global system 3.8.10
Installation
Create and activate a virtual environment.
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
Installing volttron-platform-driver requires a running volttron instance.
pip install volttron
# Start platform with output going to volttron.log
volttron -vv -l volttron.log &
Install and start the BACnet proxy agent.
vctl install volttron-bacnet-proxy --agent-config <path to bacnet proxy config file> --start
View the status of the installed agent
