It took me a bit of time to find the correct information and have the correct configuration to get all the information from an Unelvent ventillation so I though it might be worth sharing.
Tested only with the Domeo 210 FL but should be compatible with following versions:
Domeo 210 FL
Domeo 210 + hygro sensor
Domeo 210 constant airflow FL
Domeo 210 constant airflow radio
Domeo hygro
Flexeo 210 FL
Flexeo 325 FL
Flexeo 210 constant airflow radio
Flexeo 325 constant airflow radio
Ideo 300 constant airflow
Ideao 450 constant airflow
Ideo 300 constant pressure
Ideo 450 constant pressure
Ideo 300 constant speed
Ideo 450 constant speed
This configuration is based on the Modbus binding version 2.
Installation of the Modbus binding is enough, not need to create a thing in the paperUI.
All the files: .items, .sitemap, .things and transformations can be found on GitHub
(the sitemap is basic, and needs to be adapted depending on your ventillation version).
Hi Fabian,
i’ve been trying to connect a domeo 210fl with modbus, but it seems to not work at all, i tried with a waveshare usb to 485 adapter and also with a max485 and arduino …(not using yet your openhab integration) in all cases i get a timeout or an error communicating with the device .
I see in the docs of your integration that jp1 should be in place to enable it, and i did exactly that, the physical remote was disabled as expected but still nothing on the modbus side, can you tell me what you have done to enable it ?
Once you install jp1 you have to restart the device to enable the communication.
Also do you use the correct settings for the modbus?
baud=19200
stopBits=“1.0”
parity=“even”
dataBits=8
encoding=“rtu” ?
i tried restarting the unit after the change and i got the same result, im using those parameters to connect and i tried already with a waveshare to rs485 usb device and also with an arduino and a max485 (both work on other modbus devices)
I even tough that maybe my model does not have modbus, but i see that in my model it is indicated as functional (i attach the manual pictures) i have the domeo 210 fl 3v
I am using a basic Modbus to USB connector and could connect both with a windows computer and now a raspberry without difficulties.
For information, I am not using the RJ45 connection for the Modbus, but the A and B wire connection next to it.
Also Unelvent have a good after sales service, you might want to try to contact them.
i tried the rj45 port and also the other one, that does mention modbus bellow, but instead of A B 0 it has D1 D0 COM…
can you just tell me if your board is similar to mine ?
No the D1 D0 COM connector next to the RJ45 is the good one. As you can see below the connector it is marked as Modbus.
And it corresponds with the board description given in the manual.
@Paulo_Fernandes have you any progress? I’m also trying to connect it, but I had a stupid misconception. I thought I wouldn’t loose the remote so I gave up when the remote got disabled. I’ll try again. I’m using a USR device and will try to connect D0, D1 and COM.
Also, I see the remote is connected to a socket with A, B, 0 and 12V. Isn’t this also modbus? Couldn’t we just clip to the A, B, 0 cables? From my experience, modbus should have no problem with that (if it’s also modbus).
i gave up, because after many tries, with different adapters and apps i never got anything , then i noticed there was a page inside the manual box, that was an adendum to the main manual, it changed one thing only: next to modbus it says “disabled in this version”
i also tough that the remote seems to be connected to a modbus port, but i had no courage to try it, the machine is a bit expensive
For reference, I’m using a usr-wifi232-630 device, connecting to D0, D1 and COM (I’m not sure if D0 is A on my device or the opposite). I set the jump JP1 and use ModbusTCP<=>ModbusRTU mode.
I was almost going to give up but then (by my experience with modbus) I set retry every second, and the device started to reply on second request (first request is like a wake up, it will never respond).
I can see baudrate, and other stuff that I can confirm it’s real data. I’m now going to try and start it as I already found the air flow speed.
I used RJ45 connector in the past with other DIN rail modbus devices but from what I understand, there’s no standard in the port, so it should work exactly the same (it should be RTU, not modbus TCP).
I seem to be able to read everything I want and I was able to even see where to change “speed”, but I don’t see how to turn it on and off. Does anyone know how?
My ventilation system is optional, I don’t have it turned on in some part of the year. But I understand what you mean, I thought of that, I saw standby on and supposed it meant the machine was “paused”. I’m going to try and swap that value to see if it works. Thank you
…(not using yet your openhab integration) in all cases i get a timeout or an error communicating with the device .
