Technical Definition

The register Ambient temp at address 2048 is used to monitor ambient temp on the Esp32 Phnix Heroplus Heat Pump.

  • 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 Ambient temp (Address: 2048)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=2048, 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: "Ambient temp"
  address: 2048
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: The Temperature of the surrounding air. Units: Degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

Troubleshooting: Incorrect ambient readings can be caused by sensor obstruction, placement issues, or sensor failure.
