Getting Started with BACnet
Drupal Meisters:
We now have a working BACnet module for Drupal. This module uses BACnet Web Services to grab data from a B-AWS (BACnet Advanced Work Station) and place it as a block into your web site, or web application.
Why would you want to do this? Well, for example, say your client works in a building that has solar panels which generates electricity. "How much electricity are they generating now?" you may ask. Insert the BACnet Drupal module, paste in the node path which you get from the facility's energy management personnel and let everyone know about it.
