I only write this because I found to many related or exhastive topics on internet.
Here was my case :
- I'm a lucky owner of a Heat Pump from Hitachi
- Model is Yutaki S, it's a previous 2016 one. This is a splited heat pump with an external module and an internal one
- I wanted to monitor this heatpump and was looking for many solutions.
My solution combines :
- A Modbus gateway Hitachi ATW-MBS-02
One interface is H-Link to the heatpump
I used the IP/Ethernet interface to call it
- A raspberry for web server and data collection
- A little program in Python to collect data, based on pymodbus module, and store it in a sqlite3 database
- A little interface based on highcharts for graphical restitution
That's it.
1. Material installation
- I bought the ATW-MBS-02 here
- 286, ok a bit expansive...
- I pluged it in my wallmounted electrical box
- you must connect to 230V at left of the gateway (protected in my configuration with a 2A breaker)
- a to wire cable (phone...) connected from the right of the gateway
- to the heatpump on the vertical connector : the two connector are the bottom and the same than the external module
- connect the ethernet with RJ45 to your network (for me thru a powerline module)
2. Establish the connectivity between raspberry & gateway
- The default IP address of the gateway is 192.168.0.4
- You can change it thru a little program on an USB stick sold with the gateway
- Sorry I run linux only and the program is windows only :-(
- So I choose to put a secondary IP interface on my raspberry
- edit /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
- my rasbian release uses dhcpcd to parameter the interfaces, so I add a "denyinterface eth0" to my /etc/dhcp/dhcpcd.conf
- and put the correct configuration in /etc/network/interfaces
- reboot
- ping 192.168.0.4 should work
3. Prerequisites on raspberry
- python must be installed (3.5 for me)
- "pip install pymodbus" [for python3.5 : pip3.5 ...]
- must also have a webserver with php and sqlite3 extansion
- can download highcharts from here, unzip it
4. Collector
- create the database : sqlite3 yutaki.db 'CREATE TABLE yutakidata (timestamp TIMESTAMP, state INTEGER, temp_out INTEGER, temp_water_set INTEGER, temp_water_in INTEGER, temp_water_out INTEGER);'
- download the python script here
- I parametered some counters to collect : external temp, input water temp, output water temp, setup temp...
- you can adapt to gather other values, you can find here the documentation with modbus registers : here and here
- then put a regular poll in the crontab (I use a lockfile to avoid multiple jobs to be launched) : */2 * * * * flock -n /var/lock/yutaki /home/yutaki/getmodbusinfo.py >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
- your database is feeding. Test : sqlite3 yutaki.db 'SELECT * FROM yutakidata ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 10;'
5. Graphs
- download the php scripts here
- move highcharts dir in the same directory
- with few path adjustments, should work !
