With firmware v5.68 NetControl can read data from Modbus devices via TCP or RS485 (a model with such a hardware port is required). The devices can be electricity meters, water meters and other "utility meters", inverters for photovoltaic systems and even another NetControl (ModbusTCP is supported by default).

The received data is sent via MQTT and can be assigned to virtual ports to implement automatic tasks.

For more details on the capabilities and limitations of this function, please see the attached document.

   In firmware v5.66 we have fixed the issue with the "Auto Refresh" setting not working in the main page of the Web interface.

  We have added new fields to the MQTT JSON data: 'ts' - timestamp of the time of receipt of the event and 'st' - code for the source of the event. You can also now choose whether incoming MQTT messages should be copied to "/out" or "/mrout".

  There is a new action type "Invert value" in macros - with it you can invert the value of an output or Virtual Output.

   With firmware v5.64, you can implement "access control" functions with NetControl models that have Wiegand inputs (eg NetControl 8R4NT2WG8A), where you can define up to 170 pcs. chip/card codes to run set macros.
