Mosquito Trap 3 Modbus Register 12546: Name pv array input power

Technical Definition

The register name pv array input power at address 12546 is used to monitor name pv array input power on the Mosquito Trap 3.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U DWORD R
• Unit: W
• 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 name_pv_array_input_power (Address: 12546)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=12546, 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: "name_pv_array_input_power"
  address: 12546
  value_type: U_DWORD_R
  unit_of_measurement: "W"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: PV Array Input Power (Watts). Real power output from the solar panels.

Troubleshooting: Zero power implies no generation. Check voltage, current, and panel condition.
