Versions:
Yabe is a cross-platform graphical explorer and C# library designed for BACnet building-automation networks, giving engineers and integrators a unified tool to inspect, test, and interact with BACnet devices running on MS/TP, Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, or the encrypted SecureConnect (BACnet/SC) datalinks. The 2.1.0 release, the fourth public version published by the Yabe Authors, bundles a Windows and Linux GUI that can issue read, write, read-multiple, write-multiple, Who-Is, I-Am, Subscribe-COV, Notify, Write-File, and Read-File services, while also providing a built-in packet-capture utility that works with any RS-485 adaptor and Wireshark for quick MS/TP troubleshooting. To shorten development cycles the package ships with three ready-to-run demo servers—an all-purpose device, a wall-mounted room-controller simulator, and a weather server that pulls live data from an Internet web service—plus complete C# source code for each, together with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, and Intel Edison server samples that illustrate how to embed a lightweight BACnet stack in Linux-based edge hardware. A separate BACnet/SC hub sample application demonstrates secure hub-and-spoke connectivity, complementing the library’s support for traditional routed and broadcast environments. Network administrators use Yabe for commissioning, device enumeration, and property verification; control vendors embed the library to add native BACnet client or server capability to their products; and educators rely on the transparent source code to teach the protocol’s service flow. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
