I think this one is vaild re being able define the network number and device ID, being able to define the network number and device ID on exiting networks is very vaild.

NateZimmer/node-bacstack@master...antecursor:master

And past issue.
fh1ch#48

I tested this fork with a BACnet IP <> MS/TP router and it worked well.

client.readProperty( {'ip':'192.168.10.10','net':6000,'adr':[3]} , {type: 0, instance: 0}, 85, (err, value) => {
  console.log('value: ', value);
});

@NubeDev Sorry, I do not really get what you mean ;-) You talk about the networknumber and devide Id topic wehich should be integrated (and I can read the last sentence that you verified this). The other link goes to the branch about Weekly-Schedule ...

[NubeDev]

Sorry i put the wrong link.
What im saying is the branch below adds support for passing the mac address as an option. And also when doing a whoIs you can pass in the network number. Doing this you can also discover bacnet mstp devices that are under a bacnet router. As per this issue fh1ch#140

So i tested NateZimmer branch with bacnet mstp devices and it works well.

[NubeDev]

Hey guys,

I do not know if you want to continue this project, but, at the company I work for, we have decided to create a new BACNET library. This library is written in Typescript, with the use of Promises and RXJS. If you want to help me, feel free to make a pull request at: https://github.com/bastiaanv/bacnet-driver.

Keep up the good work!

[Apollon77]

@bastiaanv Hey, thank you for the link. WHy you decided to build a new library if there is one with a very big featureset? :-(

[NateZimmer]

A groundup rewrite or a port to typescript would be a lot of effort for dubious value?

The BACnet-driver is GPL-2.0 and we want to be MIT licensed. GPL is not the way for me.
