In the Pierre Partner app, the Modbus section allows for the integration of Modbus devices with the Pierre system via a Modbus gateway. This setup is essential for controlling various HVAC systems and sensors through the Pierre smart home ecosystem.
Key Features:
1. Creating the Modbus Gateway:
• A Modbus gateway is created to link Pierre with Modbus-compatible devices. During this setup, you define which pins are used for communication:
• TX Pin: Should be assigned to Configurable Pin 7 or 8.
• RX Pin: Can be assigned to any pin between 1 and 6.
• In this section, you can also configure important Modbus parameters such as Baud rate, parity, and stop bits.
2. Adding Modbus Devices:
• Once the gateway is established, you can start adding Modbus devices. Each device must be:
• Addressed: Each device needs a unique address for communication.
• Named: Properly name the devices for easier identification within the system.
3. Device Control:
• Through the Modbus integration, you can control a variety of devices such as:
• Heat pumps.
• VRF/VRV systems.
• Humidity and temperature sensors.
• Soil moisture measurement systems.
• Recuperators.
• Split or multi-split air conditioning systems.
This integration allows for enhanced control over complex HVAC and environmental management systems, ensuring that the Pierre system can fully automate and monitor these devices.
