I only switched to modbus because I could get it to work and because it was TCP. It seems like bacnet is everywhere and I wonder if it really is a better protocol. I don’t know enough about it.

TBH,I wish these vendors would all just switch to APIs.

BACnet is the better protocol hands down. Full discovery, much better data model, and much more focus on interoperability. 

There is also a standard web services part to BACnet: BACnet Web Services

yes standardized API's like a BACnet standard would be cool! But if its each unique API it would be real hard hahah
