AstraPool LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface

LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface

The LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface (reference 57434) is a communication module that allows AstralPool LumiPlus RGB lighting systems to be controlled via Modbus and integrated into a Fluidra Connect automation network. It is designed as an add on for existing installations that already use a LumiPlus RGB modulator and need centralised, digital control of pool lighting.

Modbus interface for existing LumiPlus installations

This LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface is intended for pools where the LumiPlus RGB modulator is already installed and operational. By adding this module, the existing lighting installation can be managed through Modbus commands, making it possible to integrate pool lighting into wider control systems or building management solutions without changing the projectors.

Once connected correctly, the module acts as a gateway between the Modbus network and the LumiPlus RGB modulator, translating digital commands into colour, mode and on or off settings for the connected projectors.

Digital control of LumiPlus RGB projectors

With the LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface, main lighting functions are accessible via Modbus, so they can be managed from a Fluidra Connect controller or other compatible automation systems. This gives more precise and repeatable control compared with basic manual switching.

• On and off control of connected LumiPlus RGB projectors.
• Selection of preset colours and lighting scenes.
• Activation of colour change sequences and programmes.
• Possibility to synchronise lighting with other automated functions.

Digital control also simplifies routine operations such as night time shutdown, event scenes and coordinated changes between several pool or spa areas.

Integration with Fluidra Connect

The LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface is designed to work with Fluidra Connect pool automation systems. When integrated correctly, it allows lighting to be monitored and controlled together with filtration, heating and water treatment from a single central interface.

• Modbus communication for centralised lighting management.
• Compatibility with Fluidra Connect controllers and user interfaces.
• Support for remote control of colours and programmes when the system is configured for remote access.

This integration helps installers and operators create complete, coordinated automation strategies where lighting scenes follow pool usage patterns, time schedules or external triggers.

Typical applications and upgrade scenarios

The LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface is ideal for upgrading existing LumiPlus RGB installations that were originally controlled only by the standard modulator or simple wall switches. Adding this Modbus gateway extends functionality without replacing lamps or niches.

• Existing pools with LumiPlus RGB modulator needing central control.
• Installations where lighting must be integrated into Fluidra Connect.
• Projects moving from stand alone control to full pool automation.

For completely new installations that do not yet have a modulator, the dedicated new installation kit should be used instead, as it includes both the modulator and the Modbus interface from the outset.

Installation and technical considerations

Installation of the LumiPlus Modbus Fluidra Connect interface must be carried out by qualified pool and electrical professionals. Correct wiring to the existing LumiPlus RGB modulator, appropriate Modbus cabling and configuration of the controller are essential for reliable operation.

• Must always be installed as a complement to a LumiPlus RGB modulator.
• Requires correct Modbus addressing and cable routing in the control panel.
• All components should be mounted in a dry, well ventilated technical room.

When installed according to the manufacturer documentation and local regulations, this communication module provides a robust bridge between LumiPlus RGB pool lighting and modern automation systems, enabling flexible and scalable control of underwater lighting.
