Technical Definition

The register PV Charger Accumulated minute at address 15221 is used to monitor pv charger accumulated minute 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 minute (Address: 15221)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=15221, 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 minute"
  address: 15221
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Accumulated minute energy generated by the PV charger. Units very granular (e.g., mWh).

Troubleshooting: 0 suggests no generation in the current minute. Investigate PV source, charger function, and precise time.
