BACnet device (Room Control Simulator) not connected to ThingsBoard Platform

[kamisettychandan]

Hi Guys
I am new to ThingsBoard Platform, can anyone guide me

Aim: I want to send Room Control Simulator BACnet device to ThingsBoard Platform.

Successful steps:

      1. Provision Gateway in Things Board Platform - Successful
      2. Install Things Board Gateway in Local Machine using Docker - Successful
      3. Establish Connection between Things Board Gateway & Things Board Platform (using Access Token)- Successful
      4. Add BACnet Connectors to the Main Configuration file - Successful
      5. Configure BACnet Connector - Successful
      6. Provision Device in Things Board Platform - Successful
      7. Connect Device to Things Board Gateway (mapped to specific Gateway) - Successful
      8. Check Device Connectivity for sending telemetry on behalf of the device using shell (HTTP & MQTT) - Successful
      9. Configure Dashboard for Visualization (behalf of the device using shell (HTTP & MQTT)) - Successful
      10.Configure Alarms (behalf of the device using shell (HTTP & MQTT)) - Successful
      11.Observe Room Control Simulator device data in YABE - Successful

Unsuccessful steps:

1. Simulator data not reached to ThingsBoard Platform

Try to use 192.168.55.103 instead of 127.0.0.1

Hi,
I used IP Address 192.168.55.103 but Device not connected to ThingsBoard Platform.
I added device ("provisionDeviceKey", "provisionDeviceSecret) in tb_gateway.json file.

actually this might be related to how bacpypes works or more deeply the network stack below it.

TLDR:

Use 0.0.0.0:47808 for your gateway address

Using 0.0.0.0 will enable it to transmit on any interface no matter the netmask

if you're using docker you might also want to use host network mode and possibly run the container in privileged mode if that still doesn't help

I have did like that but not connected

The same thing. My config:

1. Thingsboard Gatewy on Laptop_1
2. Thingsboard platform in Cloud
3. RoomSimulator and Yabe via mono in Laptop_2

Current situation:
See greating exchange between TB-GW and RoomSimulator and nothing else more. Any ideas?

@kamisettychandan
Had you forward port in Docker?

[kamisettychandan]

Hi,

Sorry for late replay.

1. ThingsBoard Gateway configured in my personal laptop & RoomSimulator & Yabe also working in same personal laptop only.
2. I didn't forward port in Docker.

Please, help me out
