Technical Definition

The register device type-PV1 Voltage at address 676 is used to monitor device type-pv1 voltage on the Esphome Web 51C8D0.

  • 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 device_type-PV1 Voltage (Address: 676)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=676, 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: "device_type-PV1 Voltage"
  address: 676
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Voltage in Volts (V) from Photovoltaic string 1 (PV1) input to the device.

Troubleshooting: Inadequate sunlight, wiring problems, faulty panels, or internal inverter issues can cause zero voltage.
