Technical Definition

The register Operation mode code at address 2012 is used to monitor operation mode code on the Esp32 Phnix Heroplus Heat Pump.

  • 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 Operation mode code (Address: 2012)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=2012, 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: "Operation mode code"
  address: 2012
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Indicates the current operating mode of the heat pump. Units: Coded integer (e.g., 0=Off, 1=Heat, 2=Cool).

Troubleshooting: A value of 0 might mean the unit is off or in a fault state. Check system status.
