[Bacnet-developers] BACNet WriteProperty: Passing Boolean for ON/OFF?

[Andrew K. <ak...@pi...>]

Hey BACNet Devs,

I've got a question that I can't seem to figure, so I'm turning to the
experts. I'm looking to compile a basic list of parameters for bacwp and
bacrp for our facility, and I can't seem to get the thermostats to switch
on after successfully switching a device off.

We have 11 multi-split units tied into an LG BACNet gateway. The only
device I get when I call bacepics is the gateway itself, each of the 11
thermostats consist of 33 different binary input/output, analog
input/output, and multi input/output objects (representing
ac_StartStopCommand, ac_SetRoomTemp, etc.).

My question: What command do I need to use to shut off a thermostat AND
bring it back on? I seem to be able to turn it off fine (I've checked
Wireshark, Boolean returns present-value = FALSE) but I can't seem to get
it to turn on (I'll still receive a FALSE when I input TRUE or 1).

OFF Command: C:\bacnettools\bacwp xxxx 4 1537 85 16 -1 1 0 (and it works
fine)
ON Command:   C:\bacnettools\bacwp xxxx 4 1537 85 16 -1 1 1 (no luck. I've
tried using real, integer, and character string with 1 and "ACTIVE")

Any thoughts or recommendations?
