Technical Definition

The register PMV Openness at address 103 is used to monitor pmv openness on the heatpump.

  • 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 PMV Openness (Address: 103)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=103, 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: "PMV Openness"
  address: 103
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "%"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Position or control status of the Primary Mixing Valve (PMV). Units: Percentage (%) or discrete states.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates valve is closed or faulty. Check actuator, control signal, and valve mechanism.
