Heatpump Modbus Register 210: Parameter Settings 1

Technical Definition

The register Parameter Settings 1 at address 210 is used to monitor parameter settings 1 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 Parameter Settings 1 (Address: 210)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=210, 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: "Parameter Settings 1"
  address: 210
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Configures operational parameters for the heat pump, such as operating modes, defrost cycles, or fan speeds. Bit flags typically represent individual settings.

Troubleshooting: A value of '0' often implies default settings are active or a specific function is disabled. It could also indicate a communication error or a system reset.
