connecdoor

Controls and monitors smart door access points via RS485

Overview

The connecdoor.controller template connects smart door controllers to ModbusCloud via Modbus RTU over RS485. It reads door states, lock detection, manipulation alerts, and daily access counters, and allows remote unlocking and day/night mode switching.

Key readings

Door state (open, closed, locked, error)
Interface X20/X21 lock detection

Daily openings and access counter

Day/night mode status

Manipulation detection

Available commands

Unlock door
Day/night mode switching
Temporary opening trigger

Use cases

Monitor real-time door states across multiple buildings from a single cloud dashboard.
Create an alert when manipulation detection flags an impossible lock and door state combination.
Track daily opening and access counters to audit foot traffic for facility management reports.
Trigger a remote temporary door unlock for authorized visitors without being on site.
Schedule automatic day and night mode switching based on building operating hours.
Detect hardware errors on door controllers and notify the maintenance team immediately.

Installation

1Connect one RS485 extension per door to the connecdoor.controller and supply 24V DC to the door and its integrated components.
2Wire the RS485 A and B lines from the extension to the Modbus RTU port on your ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series).
3Set the Modbus RTU baud rate on the gateway to 9600 to match the connecdoor.controller default.
4Assign a unique Modbus slave address to each connecdoor.controller if multiple doors share the same RS485 bus.
5Import the connecdoor.controller template in the ModbusCloud platform and map it to the configured gateway and slave address.
6Verify communication by checking that door state and counter registers return expected values on the live dashboard.
