Convert+
Modbus RS485 to LoRaWAN® converter
Convert+ is a Modbus RS485 to LoRaWAN converter. It reads up to 12 Modbus RTU registers from a meter or controller and sends them over LoRaWAN EU868, up to 2 km in urban areas. This lets existing wired devices report to BuildOT One without running new cable back to a panel.
