globalGroup Object

According to the BACnet protocol documentation:

Defines a standardized object whose properties represent a collection of other objects and one or more of their properties. A Global Group object is used to simplify the exchange of information between BACnet devices by providing a shorthand way to specify all members of the group at once. A Global Group object differs from a Group object in that its members can be from anywhere in the BACnet internetwork, it supports intrinsic event reporting, and it exposes a method for sending periodic COV notifications. The Global Group object is able to monitor all referenced Status_Flags properties to detect changes to non-normal states and can initiate an event notification message conveying the values of all of the members of the group. This provides a mechanism to define a large set of property values that are made available when an event occurs.

Objects of type globalGroup have the following properties:
