ModbusHub: Register Maps That Show Their Work

Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

A versionable, machine-readable catalog of Modbus device register maps, with validation, provenance, and declared documentation conflicts.

Why it surfaced

ModbusHub treats vendor PDFs as evidence to audit rather than truth to smooth over: each register records how its claim was established, while contradictions are explicitly declared. The project currently lists 10 maps and 18,100 registers, but only 14 have been read back from hardware—a useful, unusually candid distinction for infrastructure data.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
