Heatpump Modbus Register 174: Total DHW renewable energy produced for master unit
Technical documentation for Modbus register 174 on heatpump. Data type: U DWORD. Includes Python and YAML configuration examples.
Technical Definition
The register Total DHW renewable energy produced for master unit at address 174 is used to monitor total dhw 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 DHW renewable energy produced for master unit (Address: 174)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=174, count=2, unit=1)
if not result.isError():
print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
print("Error reading register")
client.close()

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:
- platform: modbus_controller
name: "Total DHW renewable energy produced for master unit"
address: 174
value_type: U_DWORD
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight
Analysis: Total DHW energy (kWh) generated from renewable sources by the master unit. Tracks renewable contribution to DHW heating.
Troubleshooting: Zero suggests no renewable source contribution or an issue with the renewable energy measurement for DHW production.
