Renogy Solar Modbus Register 267: $locationName $deviceName Min Battery Voltage

Technical Definition

The register $locationName $deviceName Min Battery Voltage at address 267 is used to monitor $locationname $devicename min battery voltage on the Renogy Solar.

• 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 $locationName $deviceName Min Battery Voltage (Address: 267)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=267, 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: "$locationName $deviceName Min Battery Voltage"
  address: 267
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "V"

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: Minimum voltage recorded for the battery system. Units are Volts (V).

Troubleshooting: Could indicate under-voltage protection activation or a sensor calibration issue. Check battery health.
