Heatpump Modbus Register 165: Total cooling energy produced for master unit

Technical Definition

The register Total cooling energy produced for master unit at address 165 is used to monitor total cooling energy produced for master unit on the heatpump.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U DWORD
• Unit: kWh
• 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 Total cooling energy produced for master unit (Address: 165)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=165, 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: "Total cooling energy produced for master unit"
  address: 165
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total cooling energy (kWh) accumulated by the heatpump's master unit since its last reset. Represents the primary cooling output.

Troubleshooting: Zero value may indicate no cooling operation, recent reset, or a sensor/register malfunction. Verify system operation.
