qtoggleserver-modbus 1.3.1
Modbus client/server for qToggleServer
License: Apache 2.0
Requires Python: >=3.11

## About

This is an addon for [qToggleServer](https://github.com/qtoggle/qtoggleserver).

With this addon you can read and control Modbus-enabled devices (such as energy meters) via qToggleServer. You can also
configure a Modbus server so that your qToggleServer behaves like a Modbus device itself.


## Install

Install using pip:

    pip install qtoggleserver-modbus
