Modbus Sensor TCP for Komfovent

supernial · February 20, 2020, 10:20am

Recently I have installed Komfovent recoperation system with C6 controller. C6 exposed modbus over TCP. Tried to read holding registers on Windows software client for modbus. Everything works great. Trying to hookup to home assistant classic running on raspberry pi. I dont see any errors in logs and pretty sure that modbus plugin connects to C6 but my value returned is always 0. Trying to read register 5 which holds the information about recuperator mode. Values are 1 to 5 . It doesn’t matter if I supply data_type or not. Still I get 0 as response. Anything I missed in modbus configuration?
My configuration.yaml contains following

modbus:
  type: tcp
  host: 192.168.1.50
  port: 502
  name: Komfovent
sensor: !include sensors.yaml

and my sensors.yaml looks like this

  - platform: modbus
    scan_interval: 10
    registers:
      - name: "Actve mode"
        hub: Komfovent
        slave: 100
        register_type: holding
        register: 5
        count: 1
        offset: 0
        precision: 1
        data_type: int

Hi i also have struggled reading Komfovent C6 values over modbus. you should try reading register 4 instead of 5. At least this works for me. I think it is python modbus implementation and all register addresses start at 0.

Here is my sample configuration

  - platform: modbus
    scan_interval: 10
    registers:
      - name: komfovent-panel-temperature
        hub: komfovent
        unit_of_measurement: "°C"
        device_class: temperature
        register: 945
        scale: 0.1
        precision: 1
        data_type: int
      - name: komfovent-panel-humidity
        hub: komfovent
        unit_of_measurement: "%"
        device_class: humidity
        register: 946
      - name: komfovent-current-mode
        hub: komfovent
        register: 4
        data_type: int

Indeed, this seems to do the trick. Wonder if this is a bug to report or is it specifics of C6

Ciubas · March 12, 2020, 12:39pm

how looks panel in HA? Can you control the C6/Komfovent recuperator by the HA or only read?

supernial · March 12, 2020, 12:53pm

For now I only use Sensors to display RO. I didn’t try the switch yet.

Ok, so I was interested if its easy to control via ModBus. So I have created a working solution for changing modes on register 4.
First thing you have to do is to go to Overview tab, and click Configure UI. It will change to edit mode.
Click + and add an Entity of type Button.Name it Away.
Switch to Code Editor, its easier this way. The logic behind is that you have to call a service modbus_write when you hit this button. So you can configure it as following to switch your comfovent to Away mode. You will need to create as many buttons as necessary for different modes.

type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: modbus.write_register
  service_data:
    hub: komfovent
    unit: 254
    address: 4
    value: 2
hold_action:
  action: none
show_icon: false
show_name: true
name: Away

After couple days of trying Komfovent modbus
Result:

Thanks All, for this post

Nice looking panel. care to share your config?

This as very nice setup. Did you consider the multi value switch like a slider to for Register 4 to be able to switch for Away → Normal-> Kitchen … etc. ?

narnaliai · March 22, 2020, 4:57pm

No idea how

For me is needed colors on active modes and schedules.
No time to reserch now:)

supernial · March 22, 2020, 5:02pm

Yes, your solution is really nice. It resembles original C6.1 panel. I was looking into something more fancy. Also need to think how to adopt this in TileBoard. Anyway, good job.

zaibas01 · May 10, 2020, 9:37pm

what modbus over tcp are you using?

narnaliai · May 11, 2020, 6:36am

Build in is 6.2 standard controller. Nothing additional.

jaxer · September 8, 2020, 7:11pm

you are awesome, thanks!

i was able to merge registers into one platform:modbus sensor configuration item. not sure if that would decrease amount of polling it does.

MindaugasM · October 4, 2020, 4:31pm

great!. Also I found https://www.vortvent.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Vortvent-Komfovent-C6-Modbus-registerlijst-EN-2017.pdf

madrian · October 6, 2020, 6:40pm

Hi. I am planning to buy a Komfovent recoperation system. In the PDF you linked there is a LAN connection to the recoperator itself? Is the C6 wall controller necessary to connect to HA?

MindaugasM · October 6, 2020, 6:43pm

Hi, Today I got Komfovent. Wall controller isn’t necessary for HA.
P.S I don’t understand how to setup " kitchen" or “fireplace” modes, because for them is needed to set timers.

narnaliai · October 6, 2020, 7:26pm

They trigers max air mode for particular time. For me they are not needed. Maybe you can connect them for WC light switch
