Reviews

no teaching in understanding how to integrate in a BMS

I'm sorry to hear this Markus. I'd just like to post part of our email chat for the benefit of other readers, if I may:

"Right now I am writing my thesis about Project Haystack... Unfortunately, I couldn't find a process anywhere on how to integrate project haystack into my building, neither at the controller level nor at the software level."

You are right that there are no practical examples of how you may apply the model to a Building Management / Automation System. The course teaches pure Project Haystack and is completely BMS agnostic.

In our experience, use of Project Haystack tends to be "features already built into a BMS", rather than "knowledge an end user applys to a BMS" - and the integration is highly dependent on the BMS itself. For example, the FIN Framework and SkySpark systems embrace Project Haystack fully.

Incidentally, another tool worth knowing about is nHaystack which allows Niagara stations to converse via the Haystack protocol.

We wish you all the best with your thesis and hope you reach out to the Project Haystack forum (as we suggested) for help with the specific detail you need.
