Technical Definition

The register name load voltage at address 12556 is used to monitor name load voltage on the Mosquito Trap 3.

  • 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 name_load_voltage (Address: 12556)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=12556, 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_load_voltage"
  address: 12556
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Voltage supplied to the load (Volts). Represents operational power availability.

Troubleshooting: Zero implies load is not powered, possibly due to low battery or system shutdown.
