I'm actually just about to post a ticket to try to get my Brink Renovent Sky 150 heat recovery ventilation unit connected, also via Modbus. Last night I finally managed to get all the bits and pieces connected.
It looks like your unit may be somewhat similar to mine, but you may have an easier job if the manufacturer provides you with a Modbus-to-IP adapter. My setup is more complex: I have to connect a Modbus to RS485 adapter called Brink Connect to a connector on the edge of a circuit board inside the machine. Then from there two cables run to a Modbus RTU (RS485) to Modbus IP adapter. Then I connect this adapter to my router.
In your case, if the manufacturer gives you a Modbus to IP adapter you just need that one adapter rather than two.
Having figured out what the IP address of the adapter is, you can then try to add the Modbus device to the Zipabox. But probably you will first need to talk to support so that they can set up support for your particular device. That means digging into the manual and finding the information on the Modbus addresses that allow the parameters of the unit to be controlled. I found the following info in my manual. It's the kind of stuff that Zipato will need to know to set up support for it.

Sorry about the messed up formatting. Gah. I'll try again:

Where you are from Evaldas? Does your Brink Renovent Sky 150 recovery ventilation has OVR function? Where did you buy it?

I am from Vilnius, Lithuania. It's SAVE VSR 300, not Renovent. It's in Lithuanian, but i can get in EN also.

OVR? i dont know whats that. IF you talk about remote controler - so yes, it has one included.

Don't despair. It's actually less complicated in your case because SystemAir seem to be more clued up about home automation than Brink.
First look at the documentation section of the link you sent. There's a ModBus manual containing the information Zipato would need to make your system work:
Modbus for Residential units_D24810_User_manual (A005).pdf
You could just send that manual to them in a ticket and they could probably add support for the SystemAir 300.
Even better news is that SystemAir seem to have built the ModBus adapter into the unit itself. There's a network cable (RJ45) socket built in, so you can run a cable from there to your router. Once that's done, the device should have an IP address. Then open a ticket with Zipato and send them the aforementioned PDF, tell them the IP address of your unit, and ask them if they could (pretty please) add support for the SystemAir 300.
If you can't run a network cable to your router, you have another good option: a ModBus to Z-Wave adapter:

In this case, I suggest opening a ticket and sending this PDF to Zipato to ask them if they could support that Z-Wave device. If so, you can buy the adapter and a power supply and it's just a question of plugging in the adapter and power supply and waiting for Zipato to add support.
This is much, much easier than my Brink Renovent.
