-An [[how_tos:serial_port_programming|RS-232 serial port]] allows you to interface with Inverters or other devices that can provide data. Drivers for Delta, Schneider, Studer and Victron inverters are now provided along with the Wattmon, making it simple to remotely monitor your PV panels and energy information from the inverter itself. +An [[how_tos:serial_port_programming|RS-232 serial port]] allows you to interface with Inverters or other devices that can provide data.

-An industry compliant RS-485 Modbus RTU interface is built in and the Wattmon acts as a Modbus master to collect data from various devices such as inverters, power meters, current sensors, etc. Up to 8 Modbus RTU-compliant slave devices and 1 Modbus TCP device can be daisy-chained to the interface, and the Modbus can be configured for any baud rate up to 115200 with different parity settings as required.+An industry compliant RS-485 Modbus RTU interface is built in and the [[hardware:wattmons|Wattmon]] acts as a Modbus master to collect data from various devices such as inverters, power meters, current sensors, etc. Up to 8 Modbus RTU-compliant slave devices and 1 Modbus TCP device can be daisy-chained to the interface, and the Modbus can be configured for any baud rate up to 115200 with different parity settings as required.
