Technical Definition

The register Elga varApInternalSetpoint at address 405 is used to monitor elga varapinternalsetpoint on the Elga.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U 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 Elga varApInternalSetpoint (Address: 405)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=405, 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: "Elga varApInternalSetpoint"
  address: 405
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Elga varApInternalSetpoint: Internal setpoint Temperature for the evaporator. Units typically °C.

Troubleshooting: Incorrect setpoint can lead to system not reaching desired Temperature. Check control settings.
