unable to get the ALARM during the runtime of application

[BMPC2023]

Hi @JoelBender Sir,
Thanks for BACpypes3, for the new feature support I have migrated my code from bacpypes to bacpypes3 where all the basic read,write and COV works fine but I am facing issue for not getting the ALARM (Yabe Status : ALARM) , while updating the presentValue in the code level when the app is running.

and using Yabe if I try to write the presentValue explicitly then I am getting the ALARM for above/below limit mentioned.

I have taken an example code from https://github.com/JoelBender/BACpypes3/blob/main/sandbox/event-server-avo1-ir.py

So please suggest me on this sir...

[JoelBender]

When you say "in the code level" are you referring to this statement in the sample? There is a difference between setting an attribute like thing.presentValue = 12.3 which is setattr(thing, "presentValue", 12.3) and writing a value like thing.write_property("presentValue", 12.3) because sometimes you want there to be a difference, but it's not very clear.

This intrinsic reporting code doesn't have any tests, and there's something about transitioning to/from fault that with notification delays that doesn't sit well with me yet, so that's why it's sitting the sandbox.

Hi @JoelBender Sir,
before I was using the "thing.presentValue = 12.3" for updating the presentValue and able to update successfully but unable to get the status as "ALARM".

I have couple of doubts regarding the above,

1. I've been exploring the three formats for setting the presentValue. While the values update properly, I've noticed that the status of the flag doesn't change when crossing the above/below limit during runtime. I'm currently using a sample from the Sandbox for the external feature (ALARM) support in my project. Could you kindly direct me to other samples for reference?

2. I've attempted to use the format recipient=Recipient(address=(0, b"\x48\xE7\xDA\x95\x94\x63")) in the notificationClass object. However, I'm encountering an error related to tuple formatting. Could you please provide the correct format for this?

[JoelBender]

For part (1) I'll figure out why it's not working.

For part (2) there is a mismatch in the API for the DeviceAddress class which has been fixed in this commit which is going to get rolled into the next release. The acceptable forms are:

>>> Recipient(address=b'123456').debug_contents()
    address = <bacpypes3.primitivedata.DeviceAddress object at 0x7fc7aac1ebc0>
        macAddress = b'123456'

>>> Recipient(address="1.2.3.4").debug_contents()
    address = <bacpypes3.primitivedata.DeviceAddress object at 0x7fc7abc9fcd0>
        networkNumber = 0
        macAddress = b'\x01\x02\x03\x04\xba\xc0'

>>> Recipient(address=Address("1.2.3.4")).debug_contents()
    address = <bacpypes3.primitivedata.DeviceAddress object at 0x7fc7abc9e260>
        networkNumber = 0
        macAddress = b'\x01\x02\x03\x04\xba\xc0'

>>> Recipient(address=Address("5:6.7.8.9")).debug_contents()
    address = <bacpypes3.primitivedata.DeviceAddress object at 0x7fc7abbe5d50>
        networkNumber = 5
        macAddress = b'\x06\x07\x08\t\xba\xc0'

>>> Recipient(address=DeviceAddress("10:11")).debug_contents()
    address = <bacpypes3.primitivedata.DeviceAddress object at 0x7fc7abcadb40>
        networkNumber = 10
        macAddress = b'\x0b'

>>> Recipient(address=DeviceAddress(networkNumber=12, macAddress=b'\x0d')).debug_contents()
    address = <bacpypes3.primitivedata.DeviceAddress object at 0x7fc7aac1ec20>
        networkNumber = 12
        macAddress = b'\r'

[JoelBender]

I updated the sample application to add a recipient command line argument and --confirmed option. The recipient is the BACnet address where the notifications should go and confirmed is to issue confirmed or unconfirmed notifications.

I think the reason that you're not getting the notifications is stumbling around the dynamic binding in the sample (where the Recipient was given the object identifier) and the static binding the updated sample uses. Between these two updates it should work.

Hi @JoelBender Sir,
Thanks for the reply and suggestionsSir, So that I able to implement the IR (Internsic reporting for the AnalogInput and AnalogOutput Object).

And I have some doubts regarding the ALARM services for BinaryInput and BinaryOutput Object,where i have tried the Internsic reporting using the this https://github.com/JoelBender/BACpypes3/blob/8672dbc4134bfa5af6228cb3094f606a0969e973/sandbox/event-server-bvo1.py but I the status is not changes for the mentioned AlarmValue (BI object) and feedbackValue (BO obj),So please let me know sir the correct format to implement the Internsic reporting for BinaryInput and BinaryOutput Object.

[JoelBender]

Notice that there is no code in the execute() method of the CommandFailureEventAlgorithm, that has not been implemented so Binary Output and Multi-state Output objects aren't going to get intrinsic reporting until it is. I updated the binary value object samples with the same command line recipient argument as the analog value sample.

[shashankgowdasd]

Sir for Binaryinput, algorithm used is ChangeOfStateEventAlgorithmand and for BinaryOutput CommandFailueEventAlgorithm .So for BinaryInput obj Internsic reporting that should work for the same format with change in alarm value property sir but the state and notification is not working in my case sir,

So please let me know where I have to correct it to get the change of state and notification to recipient for BinaryInput object sir.

[JoelBender]

I cloned the binary value object sample and replaced "Value" with "Input" and it seems to work the same, sandbox code is here.

[BMPC2023]

Hi @JoelBender Sir,
Thanks for the Sandbox code of BinaryInput object and it works with me.

But at the time of routing notification to the recipient through the objects like AnalogInput, AnalogOutput and BinaryInput objects I am getting an below Runtime Error Sir, So I want to know where I am going wrong sir
