Technical Definition

The register Voltage at address 72 is used to monitor voltage on the %5Bssd1306%20128X32%5Denergymeter.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U DWORD
  • Unit: V
  • Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read Voltage (Address: 72)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=72, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "Voltage"
  address: 72
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"
