So I will embark on the hardware setup tomorrow. I have the software installed. I would appreciate if someone wouldn't mind reviewing my assumptions on the hardware assy side. I have the RS6 Panel that will be operated on. I'm also curious on how you all have placed the PI. Since my RS6 Box is metal, I assume its going to act as a faraday cage. Parts List:

That all sounds correct, You don't need to put the Pi in the RS6 box. Most people have a some form of keypad inside the house that has the RS485 wires running to it, so you can piggyback off those. I did use a Pi in the RS6 box (for a different project) and while the pi was fine, the HAT's would usually crap out after 6 months or so due to heat (I live in TX and inside the box would regularly get to ~120deg). HAT's usually don't have the same build quality as the Pi itself. |
