eHouse BMS including eHouse PRO, eHouse HYBRID (LAN, RS-485, CAN, RF, WiFi) can be controlled from external systems. Control from Automation, BMS systems and software is available through the integrated Modbus TCPIP multi-theaded server supported by eHouse.PRO server software.
In addition, eHouse.PRO Server contains a Modbus TCPIP client which can control external systems supporting MODBUS TCPIP protocol.
It is also possible to control Modbus RTU (RS-485) devices if you install MODBUS TCP/RS-485 gateway.

Controlling the eHouse system from outside systems via the Modbus TCPIP protocol enables:

• Supports any communication variants of eHouse controlers connected to eHouse.PRO (LAN, WiFi, RS-485, CAN, RF, PRO)
• Read and change the status of binary outputs (on / off)
• Read the status of binary inputs (on / off)
• Reading / writing of output registers (ADCH, ADCL, DIMM dimmers, Programs), etc.
• Save registers – eHouse Direct Event event queue (for execution advanced events)
• Reading Read Only – measurement results, driver status, etc.

The Modbus TCPIP server configuration is located in /usr/local/ehouse/modbus.cfg .
You can set basic parameters for the Modbus TCPIP server and TCPIP link/socket.

• Activation of modbus server
• Input port
• TCP / IP sockets parameters
• debug mode
• timeouts, auto-disconnect
