Technical Definition

The register name bms name total runtime in seconds at address 4796 is used to monitor name bms name total runtime in seconds on the Device Jkpb0116.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U DWORD
  • Unit: s
  • 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 name_bms_name_total_runtime_in_seconds (Address: 4796)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=4796, 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: "name_bms_name_total_runtime_in_seconds"
  address: 4796
  value_type: U_DWORD
  unit_of_measurement: "s"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Total runtime (seconds). Cumulative time the battery has been in operation. Useful for tracking usage and estimating lifespan.

Troubleshooting: Zero runtime indicates the device or battery has not been used. Large, unexpected values might suggest a timer reset or fault.
