Esp32 Pv18 Modbus Register 15205: PV Charger Voltage

Technical Definition

The register PV Charger Voltage at address 15205 is used to monitor pv charger voltage on the Esp32 Pv18.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: INT16
• Unit: V
• 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 Voltage (Address: 15205)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=15205, 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 Voltage"
  address: 15205
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: The output voltage from the PV charger, typically measured in Volts (V). This is the voltage supplied to the load or battery.

Troubleshooting: Zero voltage may indicate no output, a charger fault, or overload. Check input power and charger's internal diagnostics.
