Aldes Modbus Register 100: Current action

Technical Definition

The register Current action at address 100 is used to monitor current action on the Aldes.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit:
• Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read Current action (Address: 100)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=100, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "Current action"
  address: 100
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Current operational status or task being performed by the system. e.g., heating, cooling.

Troubleshooting: A value of 0 might mean the system is idle, not actively performing an action, or in a fault state.
