[Modbus](http://www.modbus.org/) is a serial communication protocol to control PLCs (Programmable logic controller). It currently supports sensors and switches which can be controlled over serial, TCP, and UDP connections.
|
|
|
|
To add modbus to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
For a network connection:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry for a TCP connection
|
|
modbus:
|
|
type: tcp
|
|
host: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
port: 2020
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **type** (*Required*): Type of the connection to Modbus.
|
|
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of your Modbus device, eg. 192.168.1.1.
|
|
- **port** (*Required*): The port for the communication.
|
|
- **timeout** (*Optional*): Timeout for slave response in seconds. (default: 3)
|
|
|
|
For a serial connection:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry for a serial connection
|
|
modbus:
|
|
type: serial
|
|
method: rtu
|
|
port: /dev/ttyUSB0
|
|
baudrate: 9600
|
|
stopbits: 1
|
|
bytesize: 8
|
|
parity: N
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **type** (*Required*): Type of the connection to Modebus.
|
|
- **method** (*Required*): Method of the connection to Modbus.
|
|
- **port** (*Required*): The port where your Modbus device is connected to your Home Assistant host.
|
|
- **baudrate** (*Required*): The speed for the serial connection.
|
|
- **stopbits** (*Required*): The stopbits for the serial connection.
|
|
- **bytesize** (*Required*): The bytesize for the serial connection.
|
|
- **parity** (*Required*): The parity for the serial connection.
|
|
- **timeout** (*Optional*): Timeout for slave response in seconds. (default: 3)
