Technical Definition

The register device Heat pump frequency – Master at address 32 is used to monitor device heat pump frequency – master on the Ecodan.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: Hz
  • 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 device Heat pump frequency – Master (Address: 32)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=32, 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: "device Heat pump frequency – Master"
  address: 32
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "Hz"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Heat pump operating frequency (Master unit). Units are Hertz (Hz). Indicates compressor speed and power output.

Troubleshooting: Zero value implies the heat pump is off or in standby. Non-zero but incorrect values may signal control or sensor issues.
