Technical Definition

The register name low voltage disconnect at address 36877 is used to monitor name low voltage disconnect 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_low_voltage_disconnect (Address: 36877)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=36877, 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_low_voltage_disconnect"
  address: 36877
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Voltage threshold (Volts) below which the device disconnects to protect the battery.

Troubleshooting: Check battery health, connection integrity, and power source stability if unexpectedly triggered.
