+### Modbus Connection
+
+Home Assistant support connecting to Nibe heat pumps over Modbus over either TCP or RCU like connections. When connecting to the pump inside a Home Assistant, the Modbus connection string must be specified.
+
+#### TCP/IP
+
+The newer S-series pump exposes a built-in TCP Modbus server that can be used to communicate with the pump. To enable support for this integration, the pump must be connected to your local network and network (5.2 - Network settings) and Modbus (7.5.9 - Modbus TCP/IP) must be enabled. More details on the Modbus support in the pump can be found in Nibe document [M12676EN](https://partner.nibe.eu/nibedocuments/29795/M12676EN.pdf).

+
+#### RCU
+
+If your system is equipped with a MODBUS40 accessory, this can be used to control your pump. To connect Home Assistant to the MODBUS40 accessory, a RS485 USB dongle is needed, which can be locally connected to your Home Assistant system, or on a separate computer exposed via [ser2net](https://linux.die.net/man/8/ser2net)
