Configure points

A point is a measurement, status, or control channel on a device. A Manager or Owner can configure points on supported devices. Models with fixed configurations may provide only preset channels or view access.

Add a point

1. Open Project → Devices → your device → Points.
2. Open the Add Point menu and choose Add Point.
3. Enter a name and select a point type.
4. Expand Modbus Read Configuration and enter the slave ID, function code, read address, and data index.
5. Expand Value decoding, select the data format and byte order, and set the scale factor and offset.
6. Add notes if needed, save, and return to the device overview to check the value and update time.

For example, “Greenhouse temperature” is a name and “Temperature” is a type. A correct type with an incorrect register address still produces invalid readings. See the Modbus reference.

Enable or disable a point

Use the enabled switch in the point list. Disabled points no longer appear as normal display points in the overview, and their controls are unavailable. Disable a channel when you want to retain its configuration without using it for now.

Reuse point configurations

Action	Use
Duplicate	Create a similar point on the same device, then change its name and address
Copy / paste	Copy a point to the clipboard and paste it onto a target device; check the slave ID
Export / import points	Back up configuration or import it onto a compatible device
Add Module	Add a group of points from a device module preset

After bulk changes, check each slave, address, data index, and type to prevent duplicate or overwritten configurations. Point exports contain settings; use data export for historical readings.

Thresholds and controls

Set a sensor's normal range under point thresholds. For switches, motors, displays, and audible-visual alarms, see Control devices. After changing a point type, also review schedules and rules that reference it.
