Hello, does anyone feel up to implement the new communication protocol that the Fatek plc driver? documentation is available:
It seems like it can be addressed as a modbus device:
" Note 1 : There is no difference you’re intended to implement Ethernet, RS232/485 or Modem, the base protocol is applied in the object I’ll introduce. For Modbus implementation and address mapping, there is a general document you can download from the article or search it in Fatek Web Site (www.fatek.com )."
There is also this document here: https://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/FATEKandFACONCommProtocol/ModbusAddressMap.zip
Have a read and then try the modbus integration if you think that will fit for you?
EDIT: I didn’t read it as it wanted me to login.
For more background try this search here on the forum https://community.home-assistant.io/search?q=modbus
Modbus in Fatek requires register mapping. It is not difficult but an additional problem. Communication on the Fatek protocol is more convenient because you can directly read outputs, input, registers (bit, byte, Word) etc.
