Why are object names with ‘.’ or ‘/’ replaced by ‘_’? #24

Closed debraysimon closed 3 weeks ago

debraysimon commented 4 weeks ago

Hello, I've noticed that object names with ‘-’ or ‘’ are replaced by ‘’. Is this due to the bacnet standard? I would like to be able to name my objects with these characters. How can I do this? Best regards

Yes this is because of BACnet reserved characters especially using "." This can be interpreted as a property by some systems. In relation to "/" we remove this as it can affect the output topic structure.

If you want to change the point name you can right click and set or export the read list use your preferred editor, do bulk changes and re import back.
