Abstract
Techniques and solutions are provided for performing automated device discovery over a network operating according to the building automation and control network (BACnet) protocol standard (a BACnet network). For example, automated device discovery on a BACnet network can be performed via automated processing of BACnet traffic without going through a manual discovery and configuration process, and without binding to BACnet devices. For example, who-is and I-am BACnet messages can be used to identify BACnet devices on the network and their property values can be read and displayed (e.g., in a dashboard interface). BACnet devices can also be queried to determine their supported properties.
