Modbus Esp8266 Modbus Register 145: Hp heating capacity

Technical Definition

The register hp heating capacity at address 145 is used to monitor hp heating capacity on the Modbus Esp8266.

• 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 hp_heating_capacity (Address: 145)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=145, 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: "hp_heating_capacity"
  address: 145
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Current heating capacity provided by the heat pump. Unit: Kilowatts (kW).

Troubleshooting: Zero heating capacity may point to insufficient demand, refrigerant issues, compressor faults, ambient Temperature limits exceeded, or control errors.
