[Suggestion] Read Modbus Energy Meters - sleonheart - 09-26-2021
Hello and greetings from Germany,
would it be possible to read Energy Meters that have Modbus on Board? Like for Example SDM630? With this possibility it would be possible to integrate Power Plant Production Values ( Solarplant, Waterplant, Gasplant etc.) and with this switch on Power outlets etc to make sure to use the Max Energy. I think this would be a very very good extension of the functionalities of youre product. Even if node red Server is offline things would still work as needed.
Thanks for listining to my request

if you use raspberry PI , you can add a USB-RS485 adapter, connect to our modbus power energy meter. Node-red can read it , KC868-H32BS also have RS485 port, support modbus, or you can integrate by ethernet cable use MQTT protocol. so you can control relay ON/OFF and read sensor data, the logical setting just by yourself in node-red.
