A clearer path to BACnet.

No controller? Start on your own machine.

The local lab uses loopback addresses and an example server. No building-network discovery.

Try the local lab →

RELEASE · v0.11.0

Start with a released tool.

Install a release binary or package, run the preserved local lab, then read a known device.

Install v0.11 →

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT · SOURCE BUILD

Build with the current APIs.

Compose shared endpoints, configure SC, and understand Network Port registration, passive Number controls and transport evidence.

Open development guides →

RELEASE TUTORIALS · START WITH YOUR TASK

Choose the tool that fits your task.

Installation options ↗

>_CLI · INSPECT

Start at the terminal.

Install the tool, identify a known device, and read a property without writing an application.

Read your first point →pyPYTHON · AUTOMATE

Make a small script.

Use async bindings and typed values to turn a property read into a repeatable integration.

Start with Python →rsRUST · EMBED

Build it into your system.

Add the client and supporting crates to your application, then choose the transport you need.

Start with Rust →

UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION

Configuration belongs
beside the command.

Local interface or remote target? Broadcast or directed request? Start with the network shape, then use the right options for your interface.

WHEN SOMETHING DOES NOT CONNECT

Find the next useful check.

Work from the symptom: no discovery replies, a timeout, an unknown property, or a certificate failure.

KNOW THE BOUNDARIES

Evidence, not blanket claims.

Understand the release, interface, transport, and conformance scope before planning a deployment.

Support and limitations →

Rusty BACnet is an MIT-licensed protocol stack. Neither release nor development guidance makes a BTL certification or full BACnet conformance claim. Work only on networks you are authorized to access.
