Backnet binding in openhab and how to configure the .cfg file

I downloaded from github a backnet addon and put it in the addon folder. But I don't know how to configure the .cfg fileand readme file could not help. Has anyone ever used this addon?? I want it so I could read the data from a schneider electric server . Because it is not an official addon you think that it would be easy or should I find another way and if you know anyone?? Thanks in advance

I finally made it to read values. As it comes to the .cfg file you only have to give the ip(bacnet has no security) that means something like this.

 ############################### Bacnet Binding#######################################
#
# Refresh interval in milliseconds (optional, defaults to 60000ms)
bacnet:refresh=60000

# Set the bacnet network address
bacnet:hostname=<your ip>

But also you have to put the new bacnet items in the .items file. The readme file that is on the github is wrong

example item Switch reflectors_west_2 "Reflectors West Center" <reflector> (Reflector) {bacnet="701105:5:3"}

-deviceID-->701105
-objectType-->5
-objectID-->3
  • deviceID is the instance ID (integer) of the device as configured on your local network (it is not the IP address of the device)
  • objectType is one of the following:
  • analogInput = 0
  • analogOutput = 1
  • analogValue = 2
  • binaryInput = 3
  • binaryOutput = 4
  • binaryValue = 5
  • objectIDis the instance ID (integer) of the object you want to tie to this openHAB item

I found how to configure the .items here
