Ctc Ecozenith I250 Modbus Register 636: Heat pump 1: Suction gas Temperature

Technical Definition

The register Heat pump 1: Suction gas Temperature at address 636 is used to monitor heat pump 1: suction gas Temperature on the Ctc Ecozenith I250.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S WORD
• Unit: °C
• 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 Heat pump 1: Suction gas temperature (Address: 636)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=636, 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: "Heat pump 1: Suction gas temperature"
  address: 636
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Suction gas Temperature. Likely in degrees Celsius (°C). Temperature of the refrigerant gas entering the compressor.

Troubleshooting: Zero could be a sensor error, loss of refrigerant charge, or a communication problem. Check refrigeration circuit.
