[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.
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
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. Possible values are:
- *tcp*: Modbus TCP protocol according to "MODBUS Messaging Implementation Guide version 1.0b" provided by Schneider Automation,
- *udp*: Modbus TCP form, but using UDP for transport (removes the overheads required for TCP),
- *rtuovertcp*: Modbus RTU message transmitted with a TCP/IP wrapper and sent over a network instead of serial lines.
- **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 Modbus.
- **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)
