Description Analyze a domotic demo case based on the Modbus standard and integrate it into the Dog gateway for controlling devices and gathering energy-related information.
ModbusModbus is a serial communications protocol, simple and robust, widely used in the industry for connecting heterogeneous electronic devices.
The purpose of this work is to learn how to interact with Modbus devices (through the connection with a dedicated gateway), and to develop a driver to manage such devices in the Dog platform.
A demonstration application, based on power-management concepts (e.g., retrieve information about power and energy consumption of some devices) and/or device control (e.g., control relays and actuators) will be developed during the work. The outcome of the work, if satisfying, will be made available as an Open Source project, part of the Dog gateway.
Note: this activity is available also as a paid work, for graduated or part-time students.
