About

This is an addon for qToggleServer.

With this addon you can read and control Modbus-enabled devices (such as energy meters) via qToggleServer. You can also configure a Modbus server so that your qToggleServer behaves like a Modbus device itself.

Install

Install using pip:

pip install qtoggleserver-modbus

Usage

Serial Client

qtoggleserver.conf:
...
peripherals = [
    ...
    {
        driver = "qtoggleserver.modbus.ModbusSerialClient"
        method = rtu                    # `ascii` (default), `rtu` or `binary`
        serial_port = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
        serial_baud = 9600              # this is the default
        serial_stopbits = 1             # this is the default
        serial_bytesize = 8             # this is the default
        serial_parity = N               # `N`, `E` or `O`
        # see below for common parameters
    }
    ...
