Technical Definition

The register entity prefix Zone 1 End Heating Mode Emission Type at address 272 is used to monitor entity prefix zone 1 end heating mode emission type 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 entity_prefix Zone 1 End Heating Mode Emission Type (Address: 272)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=272, 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: "entity_prefix Zone 1 End Heating Mode Emission Type"
  address: 272
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Specifies how Zone 1 heating mode terminates. Values represent different emission types (e.g., thermostat off, setpoint reached).

Troubleshooting: Zero could indicate a fault or an undefined termination condition for heating.
