I've played a bit more with Modbus, LM5 and ETS5 now.
I have a question about segregation between virtual group addresses and normal. As I don't know what parameters can be useful in the ETS5, I've put all my new group addresses created in LM5 into the 31 address range. Can this cause a problem with the bus load or other unwanted effects? I've seen other places in the forum that some recommend to make virtual addresses. I see that point if you are sure you don't need it in the ETS5, but as long as you are not certain and you want to keep it tidy - then I prefer to put everything in the e.g. 31/*/* address range.
For now I have about 170 new group addresses defined in LM5 on the 31/*/* range. Some are for testing and will be deleted.
This is (for now) what I have created group adresses for:
- Nibe heat pump (modbus)
- Flexit UNI4 (modbus)
- Davis weatherstation (open API)
- Yr.no (open API)
- Some internal LM5 data
