Heatpump Modbus Register 167: Total cooling renewable energy produced for master unit

Technical Definition

The register Total cooling renewable energy produced for master unit at address 167 is used to monitor total cooling renewable 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 renewable energy produced for master unit (Address: 167)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=167, 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 renewable energy produced for master unit"
  address: 167
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total cooling energy (kWh) derived from renewable sources for the master unit. Tracks green energy contribution to cooling.

Troubleshooting: Zero may mean no renewable source is active, insufficient generation, or a fault in renewable energy measurement/reporting.
