Hi there,
sorry for the very newbie questions!
there are some fancoils that I like that are produced by a number of brands such as daikin, riello, innova, baxi, beretta, ariston, paradigma, and probably many more.
For example Riello (cheapest price and reputable brand) has models 11p, 17p and 23p that support an external thermostat which in turn can be connected to a modbus master.
Unfortunately none of these models allow for both (ir) remote control AND wifi . If anyone knows of similar high-wall models with that feature it would solve all my problems, but missing that, I am trying to see how a modbus can be used.
I'd have a few questions:
sorry if this is a typical case of user who does not read the forums, but I wouldn't even know what to search for. I am quite technical with programming and electronics, but completely new to rs485 and modbus rtu.
Thanks to anyone who may help!!

I'd have a few questions:
- the thermostat connects to the fancoil with the same A-B cables that are used to connect thermostat and modbus master, does this typically mean that the signals are the same on both lines? (ie: if I wanted I could connect the master directly to the fancoil?)
- is there (typically) a way to use one thermostat to drive 2 fancoils (on - off, temperature), while keeping the possibility to then lower the temperature or fan speed on one of the 2 fancoils separately?
- ultimately I am trying to connect the modbus to my home assistant or google home, or other home automation system, so I can control remotely the fancoils, while at the same time having a physical hardware that allows me to control them in the home.
My ideal setting would be: A) 1 thermostat for the whole home + 2 (IR) remote controllers to tweak the individual settings of each fancoil if needed + B) wifi , ethernet, zigbee, modbus or anything else -ideally with an open protocol- to control the fancoils either as one or individually.
