Esp32Mb01 Modbus Register 2: XY-MD02 Humidity

Technical Definition

The register XY-MD02 Humidity at address 2 is used to monitor xy-md02 humidity on the Esp32Mb01.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: %
• 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 XY-MD02 Humidity (Address: 2)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=2, 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: "XY-MD02 Humidity"
  address: 2
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "%"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Humidity reading from the XY-MD02 sensor connected to Esp32Mb01. Units are percentage (%).

Troubleshooting: Zero value may indicate sensor malfunction, disconnection, or communication issue. Check sensor integrity, wiring, and Modbus connection.
