Technical Definition
The register T7 air extract at address 3 is used to monitor t7 air extract on the Genvex Optima 270.
- 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 T7 air extract (Address: 3)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=3, 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: "T7 air extract"
address: 3
value_type: S_WORD
unit_of_measurement: "°C"

💡 Engineer's Insight
Analysis: Measures the Temperature of the extracted air in degrees Celsius (°C). Indicates the thermal state of the outgoing air.
Troubleshooting: 0 might indicate a sensor malfunction, disconnected wire, or a complete failure of the ventilation system's extract fan.
