Lgheatpump Modbus Register 24: Compressor speed

Technical Definition

The register Compressor speed at address 24 is used to monitor compressor speed on the Lgheatpump.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: Hz
• 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 Compressor speed (Address: 24)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=24, 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: "Compressor speed"
  address: 24
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "Hz"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Rotational speed of the compressor, typically in RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). Indicates compressor activity level.

Troubleshooting: Zero suggests the compressor is not running, possibly due to a control signal issue, thermal overload, or mechanical failure.
