I am not in a position to help you, as I live in Canada. But more than that, it’s unclear what your problem is beyond “Powerconsumption”.

Since you’re an IT specialist, what do you think when a user says, “a program on my computer isn’t working”? I assume that you ask them a series of questions in order to find out what their actual problem is. You need to do the same for yourself, so that people here can try to help you.

Hi,
So start by telling us how did you configure openhab?
Did you install the modbus binding?
Where you able to get it connected to your Protoss-PE11 RS485?
are you getting data into openhab
Have you reviewed all the parts of openhab to understand terms like things binding items and how they all work?
Understand everyone on this forum including those who have responded to you are volunteers there is not remote tool for us to log into your system and configure it for you.
There are companies that you can contract with pay $$ to and they will happily come to you place and will actually set up custom home automation solutions for you.
But this is forum is all volunteers who do home automation as a hobby and help where they can.
start out by reviewing the modbus binding there are many links in its documentation once you have done that and at least gotten to a good understanding of how Openhab works and all of its components we may be able to add more advice and guidance.
