Hello,
Have anybody figured out how to configure connection to C4 controller (PING2)?
I have tried several examples from this thread but it is not really working.
This thread is more about TCP rather then RS485. connection. I would suggest getting C2 specs first. And make sure your 485 connection is actually working using simple modbus clients based on the C2 specs you will find.
Hi, Thanks for your replay. It think it is TCP also, because it is sort of working… I can see some values changing for eg. Supply fan level. if I activate override function manually, I can see supply fan level goes to 100%, but other values seems to be mixed up a bit, so I think that register values are not 100% correct. Also switches does not work. Although I took it from a manual I found here:
My configuration looks like this:
modbus:
- name: Komfovent PING
type: tcp
host: 192.168.31.9
port: 502
switches:
- name: "Komfovent Power"

command_off: 0
- name: "Override mode"

command_off: 0

Yep, I remember that specs usually say address that you have to substract 1. So if your register says on Supply Air Temp is on address 1200 , you can try to see 1199 . Give it a try. Also you can download SimplyModBUS software and try to talk to PING using that software. Its probably going to speed up your debugging process.
EDIT:
Looks like my solution was far too complicated and resulted wrong outcome. Urility meter did now work, because initial data should have been in kwh instead of w, as in komfovent integration.
Found out about the Integration Sensor - Integration - Riemann sum integral - Home Assistant
So tried this way:
Configuration.yaml
- platform: integration
source: sensor.komfovent_power_consumption_w
name: komfovent_current_energy
unit_prefix: k
round: 2
Again got an error if trying to add state_class: total_increasing and device_class: energy.
Did it in customize.yaml:
sensor.komfovent_current_energy:
state_class: total_increasing
device_class: energy
Now was able to add sensor.komfovent_current_energy to Energy Monitoring.
Let’s see if it works.
Edit: Works like a charm
Checked the HA logs and there are many warnings on Komfovent integration:

Any idea what would cause that?
Same problem here any ideas ?
I keep this here, maybe helps someone:

update your comfovent firmware it helped . All good now
How can you update the komfovent firmware ? What tool do you use and where do you find the firmware updates?
I have never updated the firmware.

Hi All, i’m new in this community and i was looking for the modbus connection between home assistant and komfovent. i was wondering if it’s possible tot read/write value’s from knx tot the komfovent modbus. Vallue’s like CO2, temp, humidity,… Maybe someone has some examples…
Looking forward for your reply’s

solved, just had to do a hard power reset and the panel went back online again showing the current firmware version.
Does anyone have the C6M Modbus protocol? is it just an extension of the C6 protocol or is it completely different?
You need to state the data_type - seems the default doesn’t actually work (or is not as stated). one of those listed here Modbus - Home Assistant
I found that where the doc says unsigned char you need to use uint16

Really interesting and negates the need for physical relays.
Quick check and the commands for the modes are…
- 282 Kitchen (as you said)
- 283 Fireplace
- 284 Override
All need a time the mode will be used for. Not yet experimented with this but can see some possibilities.
[edit]
I have created a Package File to combine all these good ideas into a single file. Please view and commit any additions and changes as you feel necessary.
I have started a new thread Komfovent C6 & C6M Controller Package File
This is still under development but wanted to share what I have.
[Edit]
Has anyone put anything in place to control the fan speed or change the setpoint of the Ventilation Unit via a Lovelace card? I know how to do it from a MODBUS perspective, it is the Lovelace/entity part I’m struggling with.
I have found the GitHub - htmltiger/numberbox-card: Replace input_number sliders with plus and minus buttons to provide the control to provide the incrementing UI, just working out how to actually use this.
The Template Fan integration is not really any use as it requires an on/off action which isn’t really appropriate.

That would be really interesting thing to do. Did you have any success? Otherwise you can build all the smart control by humidity/co2 logic to HA as well.
I have solved it by introducing a pwm converter connected to esp32. Esp32 reads data from Netatmo inhouse air quality monitor towers. Values are then converted to voltage by help of mentioned pwm converter and feeds that value into dedicated input on C6 board for CO2. Theres a defined range from 0 to 10V that you can feed into C6 controllers CO2 . Asked also if CO2 values can be sent via modbus. Komfovent technicians said it is not possible
Could you post a bit more detail, please? Could you do the the same for a particulate sensor?
