Homiq Rescue: reconstructing the Homiq control protocol

Homiq Rescue documents the ASCII frame protocol used by older Homiq home-automation systems through a Moxa NE-4110S serial-to-TCP bridge. Its toolbox sniffs and sends frames, extracts backup data to JSON, and supplies Node-RED flows and a TCP emulator for integration work.
