Esp01 Pv18 Modbus Register 15220: PV Charger Accumulated hour

Technical Definition

The register PV Charger Accumulated hour at address 15220 is used to monitor pv charger accumulated hour on the Esp01 Pv18.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: INT16
• Unit: W
• 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 PV Charger Accumulated hour (Address: 15220)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=15220, 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: "PV Charger Accumulated hour"
  address: 15220
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Accumulated hourly energy generated by the PV charger. Units likely Wh or similar.

Troubleshooting: 0 indicates no generation in the current hour. Check PV input, charger operation, and time settings.
