Atom S3 Lite Rs485 Modbus Register 30303: Battery Wifi Signal Strength

Technical Definition

The register Battery Wifi Signal Strength at address 30303 is used to monitor battery wifi signal strength on the Atom S3 Lite Rs485.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: dBm
• 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 Battery Wifi Signal Strength (Address: 30303)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=30303, 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: "Battery Wifi Signal Strength"
  address: 30303
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "dBm"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Signal strength of the Wi-Fi connection for battery monitoring. Measured in dBm (decibels relative to one milliwatt).

Troubleshooting: 0 could mean no Wi-Fi connection, device offline, or Wi-Fi disabled. Check network, device power, and settings.
