Esphome Web 4C96D0 Modbus Register 40101: DC Power Scale

Technical Definition

The register DC Power Scale at address 40101 is used to monitor dc 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 DC Power Scale (Address: 40101)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=40101, 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: "DC Power Scale"
  address: 40101
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: ""

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Represents a scaling factor for DC Power, used to adjust raw readings to actual power values. Units depend on the system's design.

Troubleshooting: A zero or invalid scale might lead to incorrect power readings. Verify configuration and calibration of the sensor/system.
