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()

Integration (Home Assistant)

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"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 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.
