Hi all. I’ve just submitted an app with Homey support for Nilan Air. I’m the owner of a Nilan Compact P - Air9 heat-pump. With LAN-connected and network settings configured, I am now able with this app to get data from the device into Homey. Communication is local-network based and using ModBus communication. The journey getting data from the Nilan Compact P has been very challenging (and time-consuming) and this topic we can share information/troubleshooting. The CTS-7000 controller is installed in my Nilan Air. Using ModBus all kind of different documents and addressing spaces searched to get the version/state of which the app is in now. Looking forward to your constructive feedback. Before using this App, please make sure the LAN/network settings are working as intended. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/1/31ba1579964a9e2c1af9dbf6d0f7b9c106da5a65.jpeg) Link to app: > **[Nilan Air](https://homey.app/en-us/app/dk.nilan/Nilan-Air/)** > > Create outstanding indoor climate ---

Hi Kim I’m new to the Homey universe and have a Homey Pro 2023 and also a Nilan Comfort 300LR with CTS602 and Nilan Lan Gateway. I tried your APP to see if it could connect and get some kind of data, and it seems like I get some readings but not sure if they are correct at any point. Is it possible that you would share your code with me, so I can try to modify it to fit the Comfort 300LR, without starting from scratch. Best regards Niels ---

Hi Kim & Niels I have the exact same config as you (Niels) have, but get a connection error. The Nilan LAN app works fine, and Homey finds the Nilan Comfort but no data coming through and in the app it says connection error. So clearly IP/Port/ID is wrong. I have identified the IP adress from the router, but that is different from the one Homey setup automatically. How did you get Data from your Comfort 300L? Br Martin ---

I have no idea. I’ve checked the menu of my product, does not seem for user to change port - so should be the port mentioned in the app. When working with an app, it should be connected to the “internet”. ---

Hi @Tibor_Haraga I do not have a Nilan Gateway, I was told my product is not compatible with this. So did some digging myself. There is a lot of version/controllers and also different manuels/guides. With my device connected to lan and I visit the ip in the browser (with http://), I get the folllowing: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/3/3301c46c6c9bd01d6715972f1a55301827cb5c3a.png) ---

Hi @Tibor_Haraga If you know the ip of your device, try and put in a browser and paste what you see: [http://192.168.1](http://192.168.1).??? Maybe you do not need extra hardware. Its quite expensive. ---

I have CTS602 controller, it is not connected to LAN. I quess, via this modbus it is possible. I wanna my unit Nilan VPL 15 integrate to Homey. Any user experiences via your Homey App? ---

I dont know if (or how) your device is supported. Maybe some options are available with your controller and this app - or not. No guarantees. In my case, with my device, a lan output was located inside the cabinet and with operator passcode, I was able to set network settings to match my network and then communicate. ---

Also cant Connect to my compact P AiR 9. The initial connection worked but then it says “no connection” in homey. I can’t understand why it’s not working, both the compact P and homey are on the same vlan so they should see each other. When I ping the Nilan it doesn’t respond. I am connected to the nilan gateway which in return is connect to the modbus. Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated! Cheers Michiel ---

Hey Kim, Thanks for your swift reply. When I enter the ip address there is no response and no web page like you show. I could send Nilan a support ticket perhaps? But maybe the protocol for the gateway that I have is different? Since the Nilan app is working and I can control the heat pump with it I assume that the modbus connection is working. Orrr should there be a separate modbus connection into my lan? Michiel ---

Hello Kim, Thanks for your app for Nilan. I have a Nilan Compact P XL and have trying for a long time to read the data. Was hoping that Homey community would eventually make an app. It works just fine! Initially I just had to change the IP address in the display of the unit back and forth - then the connection was ok and data being read. Very nice! Thanks ---

Hi Kim Would it be possible to add a “when” for outside temperature? Making decision on the outside temperature makes sense to me - if under 5C I would turn on my air-supply pre-heater to save electricity in the unit (it turns on the compressor to heat air, when supply temperature is below setpoint) Thanks [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-nilan-air/100504.md?page=2)
