Esphome Web 4C96D0 Modbus Register 40084: Total Power Scale

Technical Definition

The register Total Power Scale at address 40084 is used to monitor total power scale on the Esphome Web 4C96D0.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: S 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 Total Power Scale (Address: 40084)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=40084, 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: "Total Power Scale"
  address: 40084
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Scaling factor for real power calculations. Unitless. Affects the magnitude of power readings.

Troubleshooting: Incorrect scale leads to inaccurate power values. Verify scaling is appropriate for the system's capacity.
