1412 and 1413 are definitely in the NVM (SAF and EAF settings for LOW fan speed), so avoid using it too often
Also, if 12113 and 12114 wont work for CO2/RH readings - try using 12112 and 12113 respectively. These by the way do not go into NVM (as well as any other sensor reading)
Ok, so if I manage to get the unit to adjust its own speed based on the CO2 value I give, Ill be fine? It will also save me from many of my automations
12112 worked
Thank you, this should make my automations way easier
Now that I can remove some of my automations, how do I use my VAV the best way using the internal automations of the ventilation unit? (keep in mind that I dont have a display, only modbus).
I tried changing 1273 to “VAV” but then the fans just stopped. I guess there is some more settings I need to configure?
@PatrickJanson apologies for delay in reply, vacation
VAV does not work because I assume you have no pressure sensor inputs configured, what you’d have to do is configure the pressure sensor inputs for Supply and Extract sides and override the sensor inputs over modbus.
I am not in the office for another two weeks so I hope this can wait - I can provide detailed instructions once back in the office.
I hope it works for you!
Hello everyone, I’m new with SAVE unit and I’m glad for this topic. I own SAVE VTR150 unit which should be controlled via HA. I already bought actuators to control supply air to all rooms with air supply (living room, bedroom, children’s room). Actuators should be controlled by CO2 detectors in each of these room. To reach static pressure in system I also have VAV conversion kit. My idea is to find fan speed which covers my needs with small reserve and if needed, I can turn the unit off (I also have actuator on supply and exhaust air so it should be save). Is it good way to control the system this way?
As I mentioned, I have actuator with emergency function to close valve when the unit will be switched off. I bought Shelly relay to control this actuator by HA, but the Shelly relay can be also controlled by switch. Is there some contact on the unit which came on/off depending on status of unit? If so, I could leave control of the actuator on SAVE unit.
EDIT:
RTFM Anyway, SAVE controls supply/exhaust valve by 0/24V and switch on Shelly relay expects 110-230V. So one option is another relay or I will control valve by HA automation.
Thanks to @DariusSystemair for the notification about NVM. Could you please send us which registers are saved to NVM? Hope it’s not hundreds of them
Hello @rickard1, I bought Elfin EW11A as you recomended, but I can’t get working with SAVE unit. I can see that request from HA goes thru EW11A to SAVE unit, but I cannot get any reply from SAVE unit. I have same configuration in EW11A and in modbus settings in SAVE unit, but still no reply. Could you please share you settings?
EDIT: I already solved this issue. Problem was that saving of EW11A is a bit tricky and sometime helps reset device multiple times. Also is good to export current settings in XML to check what is actually in settings.
BTW How did you reach to have EW11A on static IP. I can get it working on DHCP, but when I try to set static IP, the EW11A is unreachable and not visible on router settings. I have to hard reset it then.
Is there a way to write to the room temperature?
I tried address 12103, but it doesnt look like it wants to update.
I would really like to get this to work to be able to stop the freecooling when the room is cold enough.
