I am currently just do some testings with writing values over modbus tcp. At the end i like to make a smart grid setup with home assistant. That means if i make enough energy with my solar panel i like to set the smartgrid status to “vorzugsbetrieb”.
The Status Code definitions can be found here for endcustomers:
https://library.loxone.com/detail/template-hoval-at-769/overview
Here you can find the status codes for Heating Circuits, Domestic Hot Water Ciruits, Heating Buffers, Heating generators like heatpumps or directly from the automat WFA 200 for example (for Ultra Source or Belaria machines).
If you download the [Loxone Config] and input the template, you can find all status datapoints. (https://www.loxone.com/dede/support/downloads/)
Normally the Status Codes are hidden in the service manuals of those modules like “TTE-WEZ” , “TTE-PS” or “WFA 201” for example.

Hi Max, can you elaborate more what Hoval is planning here?
Are you planning a full integration of Hoval heat pumps in Homeassistant?
Or would it still be based on the generic modbus integration described here?
What are Hoval’s timelines for such an integration?
I have a Hoval Belaria heat pump and a Huawei PV inverter. The inverter is already integrated with HA via modbus TCP and now I am contemplating if I should get the Hoval modbus gateway to also integrate the heat pump.
Hello,
i’m looking for how to connect my Hoval HomeVent FR251 with TopTronic e and Gateway (TTE-GW, S-Version: 2.34.006, HW-Version:1.0) to HA. After some tests with an old CAN BUS RPI hat, i have now come across this threat. Unfortunately, I can’t turn on the ModBus in the gateway. Does anyone here have an idea if and how this works?
I am glad to read that Hoval is also involved here! Thank you Max!
Unfortunately, the web interface (Hoval Connect) is no longer really usable.
That’s really great to read here! Now I just have to get the Modbus up and running.
Hello fozziebear80,
You have a normal Hoval Connect Gateway LAN or WLAN. This means you have the wrong software and you need a Hoval Modbus Gateway (part number 6049501).
I would recommend that you sell your old gateway second-hand and get the Hoval Modbus Gateway with the correct software.
Then you can enable Modbus TCP or RTU.
There is no way around it.
Hello andrusalem,
We are not planning full integration in HomeAssistant.
We only want to prepare examples (templates) for “Heating and Cooling” i.e. heat pumps such as Belaria pro comfort or Ultra Source and “Ventilation” i.e. ventilation units such as FR, FRT, ER, ERT and in future present ourselves as an open manufacturer that prepares templates for several third-party systems. We have already done this successfully with Loxone
We are looking for reference customers who we can support technically with the integration and in return the Home Assistant programmer makes his code and experience available.
Because we at Hoval do not program HomeAssistant.
We will only collect the experience reports and publish them on our website.
