Hello everybody,

I am using the findRemoteDevice() method and, in one of my tests, I don't know the device id (which is needed as the third argument of the method...).
Can I somehow find it out using the lib?
I know the IP and the port (even the device name and the MAC address, I think :-)).

Thanks a lot in advance.

OK, thanks a lot, that's true, it would be heavy...

Hi,

when discovering a device (i.e., in iAmReceived(RemoteDevice d) ), d.getObjects() returns always null, although the device has objects that can be addressed.
Is this normal/expected functionality? How can I get the list of RemoteObjects of a discovered device?

Best regards,

Is then the same true when changing an ObjectIdentifier? Or is the latter simply not writable?

Thanks + regards!

Yes, it helps, thanks a lot for your response.
I see...
Well, actually, according to the standard, the object name MUST be unique:
http://www.bacnet.org/Bibliography/ES-7-96/ES-7-96.htm
(This is not the specification document, but I have read the same in many BACnet sources)
I don't doubt that there may be good arguments why this is not necessary or maybe even a bad strategy.
However, strictly speaking, if we want to say that bacnet4j implements the BACnet specification, I think it should ensure the uniqueness of the object name.

Hello,

I create and initiate a device with multiple objects with the same name.
No problems, no exceptions, everything works "fine".
But according to the BACnet standard, object names MUST be unique.

Am I missing something?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hey,

Thanks, again!

I've read in the forum that you have done some research on the issue "COV subscriptions for Analog Inputs/Outputs".
Could you tell me what's the status there? Any solutions or workarounds for implementing it with bacnet4j described somewhere?
