Yabe Authors

Yabe Authors is an independent development collective whose entire catalog revolves around a single, tightly-focused toolkit for building-automation professionals. The group’s signature offering, Yabe (Yet Another BACnet Explorer), couples a graphical device-discovery front end with a comprehensive C# class library that implements the full BACnet protocol stack. Engineers use the explorer to scan mixed-vendor networks, read and write object properties, log trend data, capture Who-Is/I-Am traffic, and test COV subscriptions without resorting to command-line utilities. The accompanying library lets system integrators embed native BACnet client, server, and routing capabilities into Windows services, HMI dashboards, or maintenance apps, eliminating the cost and complexity of commercial SDKs. Because both components are MIT-licensed, they are frequently plugged into academic labs for HVAC control-course exercises and into OEM gateways that need a lightweight, royalty-free protocol layer. Updates arrive through SourceForge, with public commits that track the latest addenda of ASHRAE 135, ensuring compatibility with modern BACnet/SC security extensions as well as legacy MS/TP and IPv4/IPv6 transports. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the newest build and permitting batch installation alongside other applications.
