Technical Definition

The register Rated Charging Current at address 12293 is used to monitor rated charging current on the Esp32 C3 Zero Epever.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: A
  • 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 Rated Charging Current (Address: 12293)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=12293, 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: "Rated Charging Current"
  address: 12293
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Maximum continuous current the Epever device is rated to deliver to the battery. Measured in Amperes (A).

Troubleshooting: Zero suggests no charging occurring, battery fully charged, or a fault in the charging circuit or device.
