event-state

A read-only standard BACnet enumerated property that represents the event/alarm state of the object.

out-of-service

A writable standard BACnet property that indicates , TRUE or FALSE, the object's present-value is decoupled from the physical input or output.

reliability

status-flags

A read-only standard BACnet bitstring property composed of four Boolean flags that indicate the general health of the object.

Update-Count

A read-only proprietary property that indicates to applications the number of times present value or reliability has changed.
