Lkics2Gw Modbus Register 1708: Friendly name Regulation Output Zone 8

Technical Definition

The register friendly name Regulation Output Zone 8 at address 1708 is used to monitor friendly name regulation output zone 8 on the Lkics2Gw.

• 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 friendly_name Regulation Output Zone 8 (Address: 1708)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=1708, 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: "friendly_name Regulation Output Zone 8"
  address: 1708
  value_type: S_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "%"
