Itho Ventilation Modbus Register 3031: Massastroom van buitenaf

Technical Definition

The register Massastroom van buitenaf at address 3031 is used to monitor massastroom van buitenaf on the Itho Ventilation.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: kg/h
• 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 Massastroom van buitenaf (Address: 3031)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=3031, 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: "Massastroom van buitenaf"
  address: 3031
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kg/h"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Mass flow rate of outside air in kg/s. Derived from airflow and air density.

Troubleshooting: Zero suggests no outside air is flowing. Check for obstructions, fan issues, or sensor calibration.
