==SNVTs (Standard Network Variable Types)==
One of the keys to the interoperability of the system is the standardisation of the variables used to describe physical things to LonWorks. This standards list is maintained by LonMark International, and each standard parameter is known as Standard Network Variable Type (SNVT, pronounced "sniv-it.") For example, a thermostat might report temperature using the ''SNVT_temp,'' defined as a 2-byte integer between zero and 65535, and representing a temperature between [[Absolute zero|-274.0]] and 6279.5 degrees Celsius at a precision of 0.1&nbsp;°C.<ref>{{cite book |title=LONMARK® SNVT Master List |date=May 2002 |publisher=Echelon Corporation |page=118 |edition=Version 11, Revision 2 |url=http://www.tsd.org/ieee1473/SNVT.pdf |access-date=9 March 2020}}</ref>
