Need to connect LoRaWAN and BACnet? The Weble WBox routes LoRaWAN BACnet natively: one gateway speaks both protocols and maps data points in real time — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.

The protocols

LoRaWAN

LoRaWAN carries data from battery-powered sensors over several kilometres with very low power.

LoRaWAN driver →

BACnet

BACnet (BACnet/IP, MS/TP) is the standard for building management systems and HVAC supervision.

BACnet driver →

Example deployment

Typical scenario LoRaWAN sensors into a BACnet BMS Adding wired points to an occupied building is expensive, so CO₂, temperature and energy sub-meters are deployed as LoRaWAN devices. The WBox receives their uplinks and exposes each as a BACnet object, so the existing BACnet BMS trends and alarms on wireless points as if they were wired. Technical documentation →

How the WBox bridges LoRaWAN and BACnet

On the WBox you enable the LoRaWAN driver and the BACnet driver, then map each point: a value read on the LoRaWAN side — long-range, low-power wireless — is exposed on the BACnet side — the building-management (BMS) protocol — and vice-versa. Conversion, scaling and logic run on the gateway itself.

Capacity & limits

  • LoRaWAN — LoRaWAN scales with the network server; device count is bounded by gateway coverage and airtime, not by the WBox.
  • BACnet — BACnet/IP scales to large object counts; BACnet MS/TP carries up to 127 master nodes per segment.

On the WBox, a driver licence enables the whole protocol — there is no artificial per-point tier to unlock. Capacity scales with the gateway model, from the compact S103 to the E413: you are bounded by the field bus, not by your licence.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect LoRaWAN and BACnet?

LoRaWAN is long-range, low-power wireless and BACnet is the building-management (BMS) protocol. A single WBox gateway runs the LoRaWAN and BACnet drivers, speaks both protocols at once and maps the data points between them — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.

Is the LoRaWAN ⇄ BACnet bridge bidirectional?

Yes. The WBox reads and writes on both sides: a value or command on the LoRaWAN side propagates to BACnet, and vice-versa.

Do I need a PC, a PLC or proprietary hardware?

No. The LoRaWAN and BACnet drivers are licence-activated on one WBox — no gateway PC, no intermediate PLC and no proprietary hardware.

Which WBox model do I need?

Any WBox with the LoRaWAN and BACnet driver licences. The online configurator recommends the right model from your interfaces and point count.
