Trying to connect YABE simulator to BACnet thingsboard #999

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-11-17T12:14:05Z

I'm trying to test out thingsboard-gateway and I'm stuck while trying to send data to thingsboard from Room Control Simulator from YABE. Is there something wrong with the address?

I got the Device IP and port from YABE.

Hi @Vaghulkumar95, delete the following line from the tb_gateway.yaml file: configuration: statistics.json.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-11-21T10:21:11Z

Hi @samson0v , thanks for getting back, I was able to get thro' this by seeing few other issues related to bacnet(from here https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard-gateway/search?p=1&q=bacnet&type=issues) ,by changing the logs from INFO to DEBUG and in pi I was not in etc/thingsboard-gateway/config which is why I was not able to see any changes reflected. When I changed my path in raspberry pi and by changing back the IP to 0.0.0.0:47808 I was able to see the device created and the data flowing thro'.

I have few questions regarding the same.

so a new device got created for me, if I need to see the values for an existing device created in thingsboard how to do the same?
how to see historic data? and which api can I use to review the historic data and historical property of the asset?

The same thing I wasn't able to achieve in docker.
So in one post I saw that if the network doesn't match it might not be able to connect to the device.
For eg. my network id is 192.168.0.110 and the docker is in 172.28.240.1 it wont be able to connect to the device right?
So while running the docker command should I use a particular command so that it runs in the same IP?

I tried this but it didn't work:

docker run -p 192.168.0.240:8080:80 -d -it -e host=thingsboard.cloud -e port=1883 -e accessToken=kLpgLXHLJgjixGzKBZjF -v %HOMEPATH%/tb-gateway/config/thingsboard_gateway/config -v %HOMEPATH%/tb-gateway/extensions/thingsboard_gateway/extensions -v %HOMEPATH%/tb-gateway/logs/thingsboard_gateway/logs --name tb-gateway --restart always thingsboard/tb-gateway.

I tried to stimulate Modbus slave & poll in PC and run Thingsboard in raspberry pi. Can you help me with this as well?

Need your help in these :

And I'm trying to get the https://thingsboard.cloud/swagger-ui/#/telemetry-controller/getTimeseriesKeysUsingGET_1 I gave entityType as Attributes Key/Latest Telemetry Key and entityId as deviceID but I'm not sure if it is correct since I'm not getting any data back, can you let me know which values I should use for the same?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-11-28T13:32:09Z

Hi @samson0v,
Any suggestions on the docker side of things?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-11-29T11:24:45Z

Hi @samson0v,

I was able to run the docker in a specific IP address with the below command:

docker run -p 192.168.0.110:8082:80 -d -it --expose 8082 -e host=thingsboard.cloud -e port=1883 -e accessToken=kLpgLXHLJgjixGzKBZjF -v %HOMEPATH%/tb-gateway/config/thingsboard_gateway/config -v %HOMEPATH%/tb-gateway/extensions/thingsboard_gateway/extensions -v %HOMEPATH%/tb-gateway/logs/thingsboard_gateway/logs --name tb-gateway --restart always thingsboard/tb-gateway

Now, the docker now has access to the LAN?

Is it possible to autostart thingsboard-gateway? Like a bat file for windows and an sh file for linux?

samson0v · 2022-12-01T07:08:28Z

@Vaghulkumar95, if you want to autostart Gateway you have to use docker-compose with restart: always.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-01T07:51:27Z

Hi @samson0v,

Thanks for getting back on this. And how to automate for linux?
And we are trying to stress test our gateway with thingsboard-iot-gateway to make sure our gateway is able to handle the load, do you have any suggestions for the same?
For bacnet:
I have loaded around 20 devices(YABE, BACNET room simulator) with 11 data points as of now and trying to get the CPUload, CPUTemperature with the python file.
BacnetPython.txt
bacnet.txt
Please find the json file above.

I need to stress test with Modbus as well.

Can you suggest me if there is something better I can do to stress test the gateway?

Hi @samson0v ,

I have loaded around 30 devices(YABE, BACNET room simulator) with 11 data points. Unfortunately getting the below error:

I have added the logs and the bacnet and tb_gateway.yaml in one file.

Currently testing a gateway if you could help me out on how to resolve the error that would be great !

samson0v · 2022-12-05T13:07:44Z

@Vaghulkumar95, ensure that you correctly close Gateway and haven't running up one.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-05T15:57:45Z

@samson0v so I do,
systemctl stop thingsboard-gateway
systemctl restart thingsboard-gateway
sudo thingsboard-gateway

is there something else I have to do to close the gateway?
Also why is the telemetry data not getting updated automatically ? I am able to see that the attributes are getting updated instantly whilst the telemetry/timeseries is not getting updated. Any comments on that?

samson0v · 2022-12-07T07:44:41Z

@Vaghulkumar95 try to manually find a port in use (in your case 47808):
sudo netstat -tnlp | grep :47808
and kill it:
sudo kill <pid_of_process>

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-09T11:22:47Z

Hi @samson0v,
Thanks for that. If I need to install thingsboard-iot-gateway in windows machine, if I have Ubuntu inside that can I do this(https://thingsboard.io/docs/iot-gateway/install/deb-installation/)?
I did install the same in ubuntu and I got the below error while running sudo thingsboard-gateway
error.txt

Any thoughts on the error?

Why I am asking this is I'm not able to install WSL/WSL2 because the Operating System is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 64-bit (10.0, Build 17763) (17763.rs5_release.180914-1434). We have many Windows gateways that are currently at client sites and upgrading each to them to 18362 will be quite challenging.

Hi @samson0v,

Yes thankyou, I was able to resolve that.
I'm trying this now with a new raspberrypi. Can you help me on why this isn't working?

raspberrypi1 logs.txt

samson0v · 2022-12-21T09:31:38Z

@Vaghulkumar95, did you expose 47808 port in docker file (or docker-compose file)?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-21T09:34:44Z

@samson0v, Sorry, I didn't get you. The logs which I sent is for raspberrypi and everything on this was done in pi.

samson0v · 2022-12-21T09:38:15Z

@Vaghulkumar95, can we close the issue?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-21T09:39:06Z

Do I need to create a new one?

samson0v · 2022-12-21T09:41:16Z

@Vaghulkumar95, no.
I can't understand what the problem is. Gateway can't connect to ThingsBoard?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-23T09:30:59Z

Hi @samson0v, Any reason on why the values are not flowing through?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-23T10:53:56Z

Understood, this is a go-live device so any updates on when this would be fixed or any alternate advice is highly appreciated.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-23T14:12:47Z

I got this error parallelly |ERROR| - [tb_device_mqtt.py] - tb_device_mqtt - _on_connect - 223 - connection FAIL with error 5 not authorised" and found this #862. But I'm unaware on where to add this property ACTORS_MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSION_PER_DEVICE, is it on tb_gateway.yaml or in bacnet.json? Do you have an sample example where this property is used?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2022-12-27T04:40:11Z

Hi @samson0v,

Any suggestions on this? and anything on the bug?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-01-02T06:43:28Z

Hi @samson0v,

Anything suggestions on this error "connection FAIL with error 5 not authorised" and anything on the bug?

samson0v · 2023-01-02T09:04:19Z

Hi @Vaghulkumar95, "connection FAIL with error 5 not authorised" - it seems you are using the wrong Gateway token. Also, make sure that Gateway uses the correct config files (not default).

@samson0v tried this in one more pi with debian 10 and same result. Sill NOT receiving data.

samson0v · 2023-01-04T08:48:07Z

@Vaghulkumar95, from logs it seems that BACnet can't find devices, so make sure that you correctly configure the IP addresses and ports of your devices.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-01-05T13:02:08Z

Hi @samson0v ,

Yes you were correct, there was some IP issue because of which the values weren't coming. Now we corrected it and it is working fine, how did you find the same with the logs?
Can you help me with the difference between timeseries and attributes and when to use what? Because in both I'm able to receive live data, which is supposed to be used to collect data?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-01-05T18:37:54Z

Hi @samson0v,

Can you also help me on how to (service daemons) autostart thingsboard gateway in debian/linux during reboot?(the commands)

samson0v · 2023-01-06T08:09:47Z

Hi @Vaghulkumar95,
As a rule, device data usually collect to timeseries (see official documentation below):
Attributes - https://thingsboard.io/docs/user-guide/attributes/
Timeseries - https://thingsboard.io/docs/user-guide/telemetry/

Can you also help me on how to (service daemons) autostart thingsboard gateway in debian/linux during reboot?(the commands)

For example: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-linux-service-to-start-automatically-after-a-crash-or-reboot-part-1-practical-examples

Or you can google it for more information.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-01-13T15:47:26Z

Hi @samson0v,

Thank you so much for that. Can you help me on how to send Server RPC requests from thingsboard cloud to the device?

samson0v · 2023-01-13T18:36:45Z

Hi @Vaghulkumar95, read the official documentation about Gateway RPCs and device RPCs:
https://thingsboard.io/docs/iot-gateway/guides/how-to-use-gateway-rpc-methods/
https://thingsboard.io/docs/iot-gateway/guides/how-to-use-get-set-rpc-methods/

"functionCode": 6,

}
]
}
]
}
}

In the RPC debug I'm getting the below error. Is there something wrong in the way I'm doing?
Raspberry-pi-3> maxTemperature_read
{"error":"maxTemperature - connector not found in available connectors.","code":404}

samson0v · 2023-01-17T08:08:03Z

Hi @Vaghulkumar95, for example:
We have the device Temp Sensor that has configured RPC maxTemperature_read.
We have to configure EntityAlies to this device, as in the screenshot below:

Saving it and in the result our RPC debug terminal has a following look:

So from now, we can use our configured RPCs.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-01-17T12:25:49Z

Yes I was able to get that working, setvalue is working too, but I want to know how to implement it using rest api's as well.
I tried for getvalue it is returning data, but not sure for setvalue it isn't working. How should the json body be , for setvalue?

samson0v · 2023-01-17T12:35:05Z

@Vaghulkumar95, all these settings you can find in the official documentation.

And before asking a question, try to find the answer in docs or google it.

samson0v · 2023-01-26T14:39:54Z

@Vaghulkumar95, can we close the issue or you have some other questions?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-01-26T17:07:42Z

Hi @samson0v,

I was able to get the rest api working. In params I gave the value directly and it started working. {"method":"setValue","params":78.78,"persistent":false,"timeout":5000}.

Yes, I was trying to connect two Advantech devices one has Ubuntu installed and the other one has Windows 10. So I'm trying to get Modbus RTU values from windows 10 device having a modbus simulator and the other one is receiving it thro COM ports.

Hi @samson0v,

Any suggestions on the above question?

samson0v · 2023-02-07T08:39:26Z

Hi @Vaghulkumar95, very bad quality in the last screenshot, I can't read the error

samson0v · 2023-02-07T10:58:35Z

@Vaghulkumar95, you have some problems with your configuration

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-02-07T11:28:46Z

Which configuration are you referring to?

samson0v · 2023-02-07T11:41:31Z

@Vaghulkumar95, it seems that your Gateway use the wrong config files:

modbus_serial(sample).txt

Hi @samson0v,

I tried in the above format and it started working.
Currently I have a device called Advantech - EPC-U2117, I have 2 LAN cable ports.
One I connected(192.168.8.113) to one router and trying to read the modbus_serial meter data connected to a meter with RS485 to USB connector.
I have another Lan connected to my laptop and from here I configured it to a different network 169.254.130.3 and in the Advantech device I have configured it to 169.254.130.4 and in my laptop I have a modbus simulator trying to simulate the data.
In my modbus.json I have the IP address to 169.254.130.3 with port 502 and in my simulator I have the IP address as 169.254.130.4 with port 502. If I ping the address 169.254.130.4 I'm receiving packets, but I'm unable to connect my simulator and the device. Can you help me with this?

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-02-15T10:51:06Z

Hi @samson0v,

Any suggestions on the above scenario?
And we ran into a similar issue to #844

where we have several devices are connected to one IP, and we want to monitor each device whether it is offline or online.
I see that the bacpypes library can't discover that variant of device connectivity, but is there any other thoughts on how to overcome this scenario?

samson0v · 2023-02-16T09:34:12Z

@Vaghulkumar95, using the same IP address but different ports - is one single solution.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-02-16T16:27:13Z

Can bacpypes take network number + device ID?
When I enter 370080:94.10.1.1 in, it just shows no data, no error, just no response.
Is it network number + IP or network number + device ID?
Can you let us know on how this works?

samson0v · 2023-02-20T09:13:53Z

@Vaghulkumar95, no, it can't.

Vaghulkumar95 · 2023-03-01T14:04:01Z

Thank you so much @samson0v for your help!

Statement: I want to send Room Control Simulator data to Things Board Platform

Successful steps:

TB-Gateway created in ThingsBoard Platform
TB-Gateway installed in Laptop using Docker & Connected (using Access Token)
Device (for receiving Simulator data) configured in ThingsBoard Platform
Device connected to TB-Gateway (updated "provisionDeviceKey & provisionDeviceSecret" in tb-gateway.json)
From Device Connectivity (on HTTP), observing dummy data
Observed Simulator data in YABE

Unsuccessful steps:

Simulator data not reached to ThingsBoard Platform
Observing "Rule Chain Failure". how to resolve issue. May be its affected

Assumptions:

Shall we update Device Name & Attributes in Device configuration as per YABE?

Please find Snaps below:

Snap 1: Simulator data in YABE

Snap 2: Device & Gateway Connection

Snap 3: Device Connectivity

Snap 4: Rule Chain Failure

Configuration Files:

bacnet.json.txt
