🔗 Communication Protocols

Modbus RTU
Serial communication over RS485. Most common for inverters. Up to 32 devices per bus.
Modbus TCP
Modbus over Ethernet. Enables network connectivity. Unlimited devices.
MQTT
Lightweight messaging protocol. Edge Server to central server communication. Low bandwidth.
HTTPS/REST
Secure API communication. Dashboard access. Third-party integrations.
