RCG modbus setting off by default?

[partach]

Hi,

Thanks for this great component! Took me some time to figure out:

• Activate a custom component (without HCAS as i am using docker) as i haven't done so before: Search for new device in HA
• via HT superuser to switch on modbus (TCP in my case) and the fact you need to reboot the pump when setting is set to 'on'. (used port scan on ip address to see if port 502 was active). Thanks for supplying the right pdf in docs :)

Overall can say it works! Thanks again!

O, small thing: would be nice if entities would be in English

Hi thanks for your kind comments! I am glad when it works - I will do some translation in English in the near future. Concerning the Modbus-Settings it would be great if you could supply a howto - then I could integrate it in the repository as documatation. Thanks, Best regards, Michael

It is pretty much as stated in "Modbus-doku_DE" in the docs section of this post (although in German).

• Go to the default web page of your Heliotherm. (Served on port 80 of HT-IP address)
• 'swipe' left to page 3 of the default UI (the little circles at the bottom represent the page you are looking at and can you also press the 3rd circle)
• Press 'Settings' (cog-wheels icon)
• Now you have two options 1) User, 2) Service. For now choose 'Service' (we will come back later for User part)
• Enter user/pwd (admin/superuser)*
• On new page choose "Main Setting"
• On new page choose "Modbus"
• On new page choose either TCP (modbus over IP) or RTU (modbus over RS485). Only choose 1! Can't both be on. If your HT has and ethernet connection on your local network would recommend to use TCP.
• Choose "Turn On" under TCP in drop down box and leave the default settings (slave means the slave address of the modbus)
• press your browser back button 3 times
• (now you are back to 1)User 2)Service.). Now choose "User"
• Press button "Restart" in the new screen
• Done (take a minute to reboot)
• If you have setup HA device already the data should be getting in at this point
• Disclaimer: Use at own risk. As super user you can do quite some settings that should not be done if you do not know what you are doing. In other words: Don't change any settings unless you have been instructed to by a HT expert as super user.
