BACprop

A MQTT to BACnet relay. Translating IoT data into virtual sensors on a bacnet network.

Usage

Running bacprop on a local network will allow IoT devices to send MQTT data representing sensor data to bacprop where the sensor will be represented as a BACnet object on the same network.

The sensor must send a JSON MQTT message on the channel sensor/<sensorId>. The JSON object keys will be translated to the properties of the BACnet Object, with the sensorId as the ID of the object.

A sensor message might look like:

{
  "sensorId": 2,
  "temp": 5.3,
  "co2": 502
}

bacprop will mark faultly any sensor object which it has no received data from after 10 minutes, as specified in the bacprop/service.py definition.

Developing

bacprop is developed using pipenv

pipenv install --dev will install all requirements for development to take place.

Testing

bacprop is 100% unit tested, and all changes should continue this.

pipenv run python -m bacprop can be used to test changes

pipenv run test will run all tests

Running

pipenv install will install all requirements for running

pipenv run python -m bacprop

Docker

Docker images have been provided for bacprop. Both an armv6 image and a x86 image exist.
