.Brink.Base Modbus Register 4032: Brink current inlet volume

Technical Definition

The register brink current inlet volume at address 4032 is used to monitor brink current inlet volume on the .Brink.Base.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: m3/h
• 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 brink_current_inlet_volume (Address: 4032)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4032, 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: "brink_current_inlet_volume"
  address: 4032
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "m3/h"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Actual measured supply airflow. Unit: m³/h (cubic meters per hour). Current ventilation rate.

Troubleshooting: Zero/low may indicate fan malfunction, blocked supply, or incorrect sensor reading.
