Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

About

A Node-RED node that reads and writes to BACnet devices.

Getting Started

Use the procedures below to install the Bitpool-Edge BACnet node onto your running instance. Then either use the Node-RED help, or read the wiki page to get you started on your next new project.

- Examples are available using the Import->Examples->Flows menu.

Installation

Install using the Node-RED manage palette,

1. Click the 'Hamburger' icon at the top right corner.

2. Select the 'Manage palette' option.

3. Click the 'Install' tab and type '@bitpoolos/edge-bacnet' into the search field.

4. Find the latest version and click to install.

or using NPM from the command line.

$ npm install @bitpoolos/edge-bacnet

Updating

The module can be updated via the Node-RED pallette manager, or via the npm cli.

Note: the following is our reccommendation based on error encountered in our experience. The below steps are mostly critical for updates that modify or add new properties to the UI of a node. Refer to comments in changelog.

Upon updating to the latest version, we highly recommend:
 - Check out the changelog for latest feature notes and updates 
 - Remove all @bitpoolos/edge-bacnet nodes from all flows 
 - Deploy all flows 
 - Restart Node-RED 
 - Insert and reconfigure new @bitpoolos/edge-bacnet nodes. 
 - Restart Node-RED again if no devices are discovered.

Main reason being, the behaviour of the bacnet client binding to network interfaces can remain stagnent if the Node-RED service is not restarted. This also ensures that all of the nodes are correctly configured as there are often properties added and removed from nodes.

Notes

  • This project is still in development and by no means perfect.

  • Gateway node changes require a restart of Node-RED. This includes any networking or interface adapter changes.

  • If you are using this node in a linux environment, using the 'All interfaces : 0.0.0.0' can be more reliable with a greater range of BACnet devices.

  • Note your broadcast address, compatibility can vary from 255.255.255.255 (all subnets) and 192.x.x.255 (locked down to your current subnet).

Contributions

This node utilises v1.0.0-beta.2 of the node-bacnet package (https://github.com/HILA-TECH/ts-node-bacstack). None of the functionality here would be possible without the fantastic work done by the contributors of that project, and the original node-bacstack implementation (https://github.com/fh1ch/node-bacstack).
