The Grant ASHP itself (external unit) has terminals marked RS485, which I had hoped would use ModBus to communicate. Unfortunately, I could detect no activity, so perhaps this has to be enabled in software somehow. The manuals contain no details.
The install does, however, include a 'remote control', which is mounted inside the house, and connected to the external unit by twin core cable, through which it received power and, I assume, data.
As the RS485 connections on the external unit do not seem to be activated, and as reading data from the internal remote control would be more convenient, I intend to focus on this.
