Verdant VX4 BACnet Instance Calculator (Room Numbers)
Free browser tool · nothing is uploaded · 5 November 2026
Verdant VX4 rooms all get the same 15 objects at a base number plus the room number - but the room number is read as hexadecimal. This does the conversion for you.
Instance = base + the room number read as hex. Room 101 is hex 0x101 = 257, so its room temperature (base 500000) is AV 500257; room 215 is 0x215 = 533, so its guest setpoint is AV 300533.

The calculator needs JavaScript. The formula and a worked example are below.
Which unit does this instance belong to?
How the numbers are built
instance = base + hex-to-decimal(room number)
| Part | Meaning | Range |
|---|---|---|
| base | Fixed base for each object (100000, 200000 ... 1500000) | 100000-1500000 |
| room | Room number, read as a hexadecimal number | e.g. 101 -> 257 |
Use the room number exactly as it is set on the thermostat (for example 101 or 2A0) and read it as hex. Verdant's sheet gives no worked example, so confirm one room against a scan before mapping a whole building.
Worked example: room 101
The first objects for room 101 on the VX4, worked out with the formula above:
| Object | Name (as printed) | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| AV 100257 | Cool Setpoint | Cooling setpoint of the room; base + room no. |
| AV 200257 | Heat Setpoint | Heating setpoint of the room; base + room no. |
| AV 300257 | Guest Setpoint | Guest setpoint of the room, 60-90; base + room no. |
| AV 400257 | Thermostat Status | Heat/cool on, off or in setback; base + room no. |
| AV 500257 | Room Temperature | Room temperature; base + room no. |
| AV 600257 | Room Humidity | Room relative humidity; base + room no. |

Formula and objects from VX4 Energy Management Thermostats with BACnet Integration (spec sheet) · VX4-XX-XXX · rev. 2024-10 (manufacturer document ↗), re-typed in our points list. Object names are shown as printed.
Check it against the live device. The calculator applies the formula from the manufacturer’s documentation; the gateway in front of you may expose fewer objects or use other numbers after a firmware change. Easy BACnet scans a network for BACnet IP devices from an Android phone and reads every object on them — a quick way to confirm one unit before you map a whole building.
Questions
How do I work out a Verdant instance number?
Instance = base + the room number read as hex. Room 101 is hex 0x101 = 257, so its room temperature (base 500000) is AV 500257; room 215 is 0x215 = 533, so its guest setpoint is AV 300533.
Why is room 101 not instance 500101?
Verdant adds the room number read as hexadecimal. 101 in hex is 1 x 256 + 0 x 16 + 1 = 257, so room 101's room temperature is AV 500257, not 500101.
Can I write the cool or heat setpoint?
No. Cool Setpoint and Heat Setpoint are read-only; the writable setpoint is Guest Setpoint (60-90 F).
Is this Verdant calculator official?
No. It applies the formula printed in Verdant's own documentation to the points list in our library. Confirm the numbers against a scan of the live device before you map or write anything.
