Reading and writing modbus register - SOLVED

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have made some progress with my Modbus controller. I can now read temperature value from it using Modbus TCP. Next step is to create a switch for turning on/off the heating. In my configuration.yaml I have:

modbus:
  - name: "ouman_garage"
    type: tcp
    host: 192.168.1.60
    port: 502
    delay: 0
    timeout: 5

    sensors:
      - name: "Garage heating ON/OFF"
        address: 132
        count: 1
        input_type: holding
        scan_interval: 5
        slave: 1

    switches:
      - name: "Garage heating ON/OFF"
        slave: 1
        address: 132

Basically I have created a sensor and switch. Modbus register is 132. In the scripts.yaml file I have:

script:
  description: "Garage heating"
  sequence:
    - service: modbus.write_register
      data_template:
        hub: ouman_garage
        unit: 1
        address: 130
        value: 1
    - delay:
        milliseconds: 100
    - service: modbus.write_register
      data_template:
        hub: ouman_garage
        unit: 1
        address: 132
        command_on: 100
        command_off: 0

Idea is to write first “1” to register 130 and after a short delay to write to register 132 either 0 (=off) or 100 (=on). My problem is that I donät understand how to pass the on/off information from the switch in the configuration.yaml to script.yaml. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Managed to solve this problem. Don’t remember exactly what was causing problems but at least I changed in command_on: 100 to “100”.

Hi I see that you resolved the problem.

I’m playing with modbus.
So far I’m able to read all sensors that I need but no sure what to do to write.
My goal is to set temp to the heatpump controller.

To read I’m using

      - name: "DHW temperature setpoint - comfort"
        unique_id: "DHW temperature setpoint - comfort"
        device_class: temperature
        data_type: int16
        address: 703
        scale: 0.1
        precision: 1
        input_type: holding
        unit_of_measurement: °C
        state_class: measurement
        scan_interval: 20

I’m able write to his register a value with node-red but how to do that in HA?
In node-read I’m using function code 06 (single)

I used standard

modbus.write_register

That’s it. It works with automation.

Can you share all the code that you needed to be able to write a holding register? I’m struggeling to find how to do it

To write a value to a sensor (holding) you need to do this via automation.
Here an example:

- id: '1761718868273'
  alias: Nibe Verdichter Blockieren
  description: ''
  triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
    - input_boolean.nibe_blockieren
    to: 'on'
  conditions: []
  actions:
  - data:
      hub: nibe_smo_s40_f2120
      address: 2740
      slave: 1
      value: 4
    action: modbus.write_register
  - delay:
      milliseconds: 100
  - data:
      hub: nibe_smo_s40_f2120
      address: 2741
      slave: 1
      value: 1
    action: modbus.write_register
  mode: single

This is an example how to trigger with a helper-switch an action to write in two subsequent registers in modbus

Hallo Thomas,

I am trying to activate the Aux from modbus in several ways. But so far I didn’t manage. Also not with your automation.The desired function is assigned, for example block compressor (4) or external adjustment (2). Bit I am not able to get the function on. It is always Off. I tried with several valies for the delay. Could it be a setting? I am communicating with an S1155.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks in advance
