Zehnder ComfoAir E300/E400 ESPHome component

Hi,

I’ve create a ESPHome component for interacting with the Zehnder ComfoAir E300/E400 devices. The project is likely to work with the ComfoAir PRO 200/250/300 series as well, but this remains untested.

It works by connecting to an undocumented RS485 serial interface using Modbus RTU.

Current capabilities:

  • Fan speed control.
  • Read fan states (RPM, duty cycle, flow rate)
  • Read temperature & humidify (extract, supply, exhaust, intake).
  • Read bypass & heater state.
  • Read external setpoints (RF, 3 way-switch, bathroom switch)
  • Read device fault/errors.
  • Diagnostics (model, orientation, FW, etc)

Here you can find the code. If anyone’s interested, let me know since we need data from more devices to complete the register discovery.
