Optima250 Modbus Register 6: Genvex temp t7

Technical Definition

The register Genvex temp t7 at address 6 is used to monitor genvex temp t7 on the Optima250.

• Protocol: Modbus RTU
• Data Type: U WORD
• Unit: °C
• 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 Genvex temp t7 (Address: 6)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=6, 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: "Genvex temp t7"
  address: 6
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"
