COV for Analog Input

[jeremie]

Hi,

In BACNet4J, COV is not allowed for Analog Input, whereas it should.
I think we have to add :

       
    static {
        supportedObjectTypes.add(ObjectType.accessDoor);
...
        **supportedObjectTypes.add(ObjectType.analogInput);**
        
        supportedPropertyIdentifiers.add(PropertyIdentifier.presentValue);
...
    }

in com.serotonin.bacnet4j.obj.ObjectCovSubscription class.

Regards,

Jérémie

Hi Jérémie,

Strictly speaking, all analog types should be added there, as well as some others. But support of COV - to my reading of the spec - is optional to the implementation. There should be nothing preventing you from sending a COV subscription request from BACnet4J. It's just that the software will not accept a COV subscription request on its analogs.

This can be changed, but not simply by declaring analogs as supported; there is code that needs to be added to actually implement the support. If this is what you need, you can use the contact page to request a quote for the work.

Hi,

Could you be more clear on your suggestion of "use the contact page to request a quote for the work" ? I would really like to support the COV analog input if possible. Can you give me pointers to where else in the source code that I need to make changes to ?

Thanks!
