Esp32 Pv19 Modbus Register 16207: PV2 Charger Current

Technical Definition

The register PV2 Charger Current at address 16207 is used to monitor pv2 charger current on the Esp32 Pv19.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: INT16
• 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 PV2 Charger Current (Address: 16207)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=16207, 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: "PV2 Charger Current"
  address: 16207
  value_type: INT16
  unit_of_measurement: "A"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Current supplied by PV2 to the charger. Units: Amperes (A). Typically a positive value when charging.

Troubleshooting: Zero indicates no current flow from PV2. Check PV2 panel, wiring, MPPT status, or charger connection.
