Description

Use Case

I think it would be great to have BACnet support, as it is often used for BMS systems (where it was convenient to use it in conjunction with InfluxDB).

Expected behavior

Telegram must in its configuration connect to the BACnet object by BACnet ID, IP address and controller port and read all attributes (variables) of the BACnet object.

Actual behavior

Not provided

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a new input plugin following the Telegraf plugin development guide. Look at existing plugins like modbus or snmp for patterns. Need to understand BACnet protocol (e.g., using a Go library like gobacnet). Configuration should include BACnet device ID, IP, port, and object attributes to read.
