Esp32 Modbus Register 13059: Battery MIN Voltage

Technical Definition

The register Battery MIN Voltage at address 13059 is used to monitor battery min voltage on the Esp32.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• 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 Battery MIN Voltage (Address: 13059)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=13059, 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: "Battery MIN Voltage"
  address: 13059
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Minimum recorded battery voltage in Volts (V). Lowest voltage observed.

Troubleshooting: If 0, battery may be deeply discharged or faulty. Check for over-discharge protection or replace.
