Open standard.. hah.. like bacnet was supposed to be? More and more i deal with bacnet devices that make some data unreadable (proprietary) so what was the point?

Agree with other posts about sending data to the cloud to work. Also I'm certainly way behind on my washing machine tech because I can't fathom a reason they should be online. So I can get an alert when the cycle is done? Ok fine.. stupid but fine - as long as it stays local.
