I’ve been working hard to get a NIBE heat pump to display it’s data in HA, and this has been a bit of a journey, so I thought I’d share my setup here in case other users would like to get their up and running.
First thing to mention, there is a Nibe integration for HA which interacts with the Nibe cloud platform v1. This has been superceded by a new (and not terribly much improved) cloud API for Nibe such that new heat pumps don’t work with this integration. But TBH, I’m not really sure why one would want to bother with that integration in the first place as this can all be accomplished in an entirely local, zero-cloud, modbus setup.
First things first, enable modbus over tcp on your Nibe control unit. I’ve got the NIBE SMO S40 (UK) control unit. You can enable modbus in menu 7.5.9 - simply change the setting to “on” and your control unit will communicate modbus via the configured internet connection. I’m assuming that you have already connected up the SMOS40 with an internet configuration. Mine is using ethernet with an address set up via DHCP (this can be found in menu 5.2.2).
Next, you need to add entries to configuration.yml - here’s how I have mine set up:

Voila, once you’ve restarted HA core, you should have a suite of sensors. I tend to have mine in a few different panels, “heat pump” “water tank” and then more niche stats in " Heat Pump - Refridgerant Circuit" and “Heat Pump - Heat Medium Circuit”. I’ve found the Nibe installers manuals to be pretty useful in terms of identifying where the various sensors fit and what they do for the heat pump. Here’s an annotated version I made for my own use:
and another more generic diagram (also annotated with sensors):
Good luck getting yours up online!
