LG Heat Pump - Which Value is shown?

[Trainerbert]

Hey there,

I am using the Integration with my heat pump LG Therma V R290 and it works pretty good.
But I don't understand which value is shown in the auto menu.
In the picture you can see the heat pump shows the value of 17 degress.
But where does it take this value from. It isn't the outdoor temperature and not a value from the heating curve.

i think its the target temperature for the outlet which equals to zero in the thinq app
if you increase it in the thinq app , homeassistent will also update to 21 (if you add 5 in the thinqapp) or 12 if you lower it
(i have the dutch version , here its called doeltemperatuur uitlaat, which i translated)

i am unsure why its displayd as it is though in home assistent (i am just a newbie , just downloaded it today)

Yeah I think thats true but pretty bad shown then. 17 means zero offset and 12 is -5 and 22 is +5.
I am missing the real water target and outdoor unit temperatur. So I can't really understand what is going on.
Maybe with the Modbus Version it is better?

i have seen some yaml code where they offset the values , i tried to do that by going to to developer tools - states
i have changed the state attributes of that entity ,
hvac_modes:

• "off"
• auto
• heat
  min_temp: -5
  max_temp: 5
  target_temp_step: 1
  current_temperature: 34
  temperature: 0
  friendly_name: Warmtepomp therma v
  supported_features: 385

hower that does nothing and it keeps referting back. so obviously thats not wheren you can set the offset (or i am doing it wrong , no judgment please, i just started fiddling with it today ;) )

i have read that the modbus is much better, you get many more registers you can fiddle around with.
however its pretty difficult to set up for a newbie like me.

you need to connect a RS485 to ethnet module to the heatpump itself. then integrate it into home assistent, and then write youre own yaml integration script
a good video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuj2YFZ5zME

its on my radar but i want to settle into HA first.

Thanks, I will integrate the Modbus solution.

hmm i have been poking around, and found this part in the diagnostic file
"airState.ess.solarPowerExt": 0.0,
"airState.tempState.current": 24.5,
"airState.tempState.hotWaterTempMax": 55.0,
"airState.miscFuncState.awhpTempSwitch": 1.0,
"airState.miscFuncState.extraOp": 0.0,
"airState.2nd.tempState.airTempCoolMin": 16.0,
"airState.2nd.tempState.target": 17.0,
"airState.2nd.tempState.waterTempCoolMin": 5.0,
"airState.tempState.airTempHeatMax": 30.0,

no clue yet how to change it the entity though
